Oh yes, and a ski canada calendar for 2009.


AAhhh, Valetellina, a wonderful place, great taste 8)

Your paintings are lovely Dave. I can not paint to save my life but I do loads of tapestries and needlepoint usually all snowy scenes and mountains. It makes my day if I can find a tapestry of whatever resort I am in. So hope I can pick some up in Finland.

I have always quite fancied a bit of painting, I've brought brushes, pallet, easel had them now for two years and they are still in the packs, I think I needed some inspiration and maybe dave has given me that, move over Van gogh here comes Van Wickham. 8)

Set aside a couple of hours, get your favourite ski photo out, and do it.

Have a look at it, and figure out what's wrong, do it again.

Man, it's no different from learing to ski, without the falls!

Oh, after my most recent creation, you are not allowed to change to Van. You will always remain the Wicked Wickham :wink:

I should have said, I don't usually paint from photos, (Hendrix and Dylan apart!), it is just an easy way to start.
