Harry and Vic at Norman Park.




This painting was painted from Norman Park. The two photos are my friend Harry and I. I`m in the dark coat. There is a little story to this painting. A young lady came up and asked if she could look, naturally we said yes. She said that her family was into Arts, and she related what they did, then she said my Dads name is Harry, and told us that she was expecting a baby ( We could see that ) and that if it is a Boy, she will call it Harry. And I said, for his second name why don`t you call him Victor, she said yes I will. Now wasn`t that lovely of her. She was a really lovely young lady as well. She even said she liked our paintings, that made our day.

  4. Hi Joan.
    Thank you my friend. I am going to try to send more photos with each painting now. I love seeing other Artist`s at work, don`t you Joan? I have just sent away for a DVD by Miles Fairhurst. He paints just like Seago. I will let you know what it`s like. All the best Joan.

  5. Love the painting - the greens are luscious and the sky is so lovely. Each sky you paint gets more and more beautiful, Vic. And I really enjoy looking at your photos - two artist friends at work - what could be better than that? Except, of course, a namesake baby! What a lovely story!

  10. Hi Hilda.
    Thank you for your great comment. I`m very lucky in that I have a friend as company to go and paint Plein Air. I occasionally go out by myself, but it isn`t the same is it? All the best Hilda.
