A welcome trip out with the other founder member of the Reformed Reprobates Painting Society to North Shields Fish Quay. After bacon buttie breakfast we headed onto the quay where I chose this view to paint. Actually there was a lot more in front of me than appears here, but I am trying to edit and simplify as I paint. One of my many faults is trying to get too much in a scene and destroying the immediacy of the piece by overworking. I haven't been too successful here but it's another lesson learned.
Otherwise a good day out and an evening listening to wonderful Irish music with another of our pals who we are determined to recruit to our little painting team.

That's the way to do it Mick if you don't want to join an existing group - start your own! This isn't unusual.
There's a place, basically a hut, on one side of Bristol Docks that's renowned for it's bacon butties. I'll be painting down there in a few weeks so I'll have to try them.
Oh your painting isn't bad either.
Oh the paintings not bad either!
Peter - Encouraged by your enthusiasm for your groups I've got out with one of my oldest friends to paint rather than carouse, although we still find a little time for carousing but after the main activity of the day.
