superb Rob , always love seeing how artists work in their own environment something really personal about it.
loving the big beard as well looking well arty

Yeah, I'm always intrigued by artist's work spaces.
......The beard.....just a natural habitat for wild life, biscuit crumbs and custard.

Tell you a big secret..........the large piccies are just a 'block' and unframed. Ikea do table tops of varying sizes. They come with laminated sides and top and the underside is mdf with pre-drilled holes for the legs. I fit 'hidden' mirror plates for hanging and fill the holes with polyfilla,.... gesso the mdf and do the painting. The laminate is then sanded and painted with emulsion. Because of the 'honeycomb' construction there is no warping of the mdf which is pretty thin anyway. These 'table tops' are relatively in-expensive.
Apologies to non-european viewers who do not have the throw away furniture culture of the Swedish comany IKEA..........

So you paint on Ikea table tops? That's genius!

That's why your paintings are super-detailed.. they're BIG!!!
I love them!

Eeeeerrrr....yup, quite a few of them, that's why you don't see the brush marks....must put up some details of the paintings to show that there are brush marks.....
With the big 'uns you can see why I favour my antique (early 1900's) easel with the wind up handle.....the paintings get heavier day by day as I add the stones...the worm gear on the handle makes for easy raising and lowering......but then at my age I need to conserve energy

Bad enough picking them off the floor to put on the easel......

Crikey i didn't realise these were so big

I have painted larger but this size is just manageable for a few months work before I get bored. Most of the work is around 600 x 450 mm.
