I have just finished this painting of Jessie Shirley’s Bone and Flint Mill.
The building is at Etruria in Stoke on Trent and has the last remaining steam engine which was used to grind bone and flint to use in bone china pottery. Its an impressive building and is quite complicated to paint. The mortar and bricks were particularly difficult.
The steam engine is going to be working later in the year.
Its a small wide canvas to give a panoramic view. Acrylic paints help speed the drying and allowed me to paint clear details with fine brushes, I hope people like the result.
I’m trying to do some paintings of pottery. I know what I want to do in my minds eye, but getting it down on canvas is a different matter.
I have so many ideas to share. I intend to add a few more pages but I need to know how much memory it takes. I just tried adding another picture and my device came up with one of those “not enough memory to continue” messages. Does anyone else have a similar problem? (As you can see I have now worked it out).

Im sure we are all in the same boat when it comes to setting up web sites and pages….you have to guess what you are doing half the time and if it comes out anything like you expected you are doing well!
