Christmas Card time - I still send out paper cards, which might be a bit ungreen, but hell, I never fly anywhere and don't eat meat so I think I'm still on the right side of the line.  It's a great way to stay in touch with past clients and buyers, they have a little picture that stays on their desk for a couple of weeks.
I was stuck for a subject this year till I got a message from Richard, an old friend, last month, asking if he could commission me to do a painting of a building in Tottenham Court Road for a client of his, to be used on an Xmas card.  So as he'd come up with the idea, I gave him the use of the image as long as I could put it on my cards too.  With 2 daughters to pick up from the Borderline one Saturday night, I got a perfect chance to take lots of photos.  And it didn't rain, so it was all meant to be.  I'm sending out a lot by post but if you don't get one, hope you like the painting and please take this as my wish for a great Christmas and a happy New Year.  x
