Brass Tack
Oil on ceramic tile
25x25mm
Time to get down to brass tacks. Actually it must be some other metal as it is rusted, but I like the sound of it.

Oil on Ivory mounted on Rosewood
This one was actually painted before the last one I just posted. I like this one better too, I've got a backlog of paintings I havn't gotten around to posting. It's always difficult thinking up titles and I try not to be too twee. But I remember thinking of the Shakesphere quote from the "all the world's a stage" soliloquy... well, sans teeth sans eyes sans pencil...

This month marks the sixth year of Postcard From Puniho. I will be taking a short sabbatical for a few weeks as I am going to London to see the Queen. Well... the lucien Freud exhibition, and he did paint a portrait of the Queen.

Making Ends Meet
Making Ends Meet
Oil on two ceramic tiles
each tile 24x24mm
I initiallly painted the eraserhead and then thought I'd paint the other pointy end as well. They could be displayed seperately or side by side or whatever.... I think it's called "interactive" art...

Wooden mount 56x33mm
I was rather pleased with the way this one turned out. When Dale saw it she said it looked very sad, like the Ages of Man. I just saw three matches.

I've started to mount the ivory piano keys onto wooden mounts made out of offcuts from my guitar building projects. This one is rosewood and a veneer of oak I think.

Moss Green Point
Oil on Ivory Piano Key
47x22mm
I thought I'd try something a bit bigger today, so I painted this on an old ivory piano key. It's a beautiful surface to work on for miniatures. Note that no elephants were harmed during the making of this. Well... not recently alive elephants.... I used mongoose brushes which is another endangered species. I covered my hands in white lead just to appease my guilt.
