Well if you want to know how long my art takes me, and how I produce to get to the piece's or piece's I want.. Then check out Blues Roses For Blue Day.. This is a side or mini project (to keep me sane).. My Mum passed away over 8 years ago, and there isn't a day that I don't think about her, well in the period before my Mum passed away.. We (Are Family) lost her twice, the first time was with Alzheimer's disease, and the second when my Mum was so ill that she would sleep all day & night... Well it was around this time that I met up with an old mate from Tower College (Private School).. And Joanne let me put my artwork on display, I was so grateful.. Anyway Joanne let take some photo's of the place and flowers & Vases (did I mention it was a Florist?).. Any this Vase was in the corner of the shop, with a few White Roses in it.. So that was the start of Blue Roses For A Blue Day.. Anyway as usual I go off on a tangent.. So I had the initial drawing done, and applied one of my piece's in the background, and the piece came together after a couple of months.. the drawing to a dam cite longer... But these new piece's I've been working and reworking for the past 18 months, with a three week spell of not going near the piece, it was Cul-de-Sac central... So now the total running time is about 9 years & Three Quarters (It feels like I'm doing a dairy) Hi I'm Nine & 3/4... Adrian Mole watch out I'm after your job... So please give feedback, good bad or indifferent, constructive criticism is always welcome so don't hold back thanks... At long last I can finally say with complete uncertainty that I have not completed this yet.. But for the time being at least, I have.. I hope you like my little adventure..
