The End of the Road

I've decided to close down this blog.

Pause for gasps.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

Pause to let it sink in.

Settle down people, settle down. It's not as bad as it sounds. I'll still be painting, I just won't be taking on any further commission work for the foreseeable future. And as I'm heading back to college after a year out, I don't think I'll have the time to make the irregular updates for which this blog has become known.

What does this mean for the casual reader? Well I'm going to leave everything up so you can still view it, I'll just no longer be adding anything new.

Pause for cries of: "That's not good enough!" "There's no justice in this!" "What will we do without you!" Dodge thrown bottle.

There is a spark of light at the end of the tunnel, though.

Around Xmas, with a little luck, I'll be starting up a new blog with a difference. It'll have a gallery. Actually it'll have very little "blog" and really be just a small website with all my pictures (both from here and the ones I never got round to posting, plus whatever I produce in the meantime) organised in a useful way.

Until then, thank you to the 3 people who followed this blog and the rest of you, too, for the (almost) 1500 page views it got. I hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures, that it gave you some inspiration and I wish you luck in your own painting.

Cheers,
Sam
