Fox acrylic on 12 inch round canvas. Art lovers, I have lots of paintings that can be paid in 3 instalments, perfect for Christmas gifts. Also, for US customers, artwork is exempt from tariffs.

Elgar's Dream of Gerontius conducted by Kazuki Yamada with the wonderful CBSO + CBSO chorus who were phenomenal.
Sadly no Toby Spence but Benjamin Hulett was brilliant, as were Jess Dandy and Roderick Williams.

A chubby crucian carp on the way. Found a lovely little oval frame so painting this on acrylic primed cardboard. Who knows if this will work!
Lots to do and some hornwort weed for movement.
