The first April panel is finished. This a typical bucolic subject, beloved of the resaurants we are supplying.

The panel is MDF as usual and around 1.6 metres wide.

It took just over 10 hours to do, although it has yet to be varnished.

It was entirely executed with the studio door wide open this time, spring is really giving me a push now and this morning I've already started the next panel.

We've started our musical endeavours again - just three of us. We've clubbed together and bought some PA kit so we can make a reasonable amount of noise if anyone asks us to play for them (Amplifier/mixer, speaker, microphones) - all we need now is some practic! We're down to 2 guitars, the occasional keyboard use and a singer but i'm attempting to make some 'backing tracks (via 'Garageband on the Apple Mac) to give us a bit more 'body'. Tomorrow evening I'll be attending a meeting to help organise a music festival in June at a nearby village so we may have a gig....

We'll see.

Busy, busy............
