I had got so so far behind. Anyway this is plaited tyres. My art teacher suggested that I do them in lots of bright colours but I went for the muted effect. However, I might try the psychedelic option as well.
What I was trying to paint!
The invention of the wheel is what set me off on this. 
We have the remains of an old sandstone grinding wheel in our garden – once a great boon, now replaced by stainless steel knives etc., but I wish I still had a working version of the grinding wheel. I tried to use glazing technique again, but find it very slow. I especially struggle to get dark tones without mixing. John said this picture was ‘wierd’ because he couldn’t understand what the stripes were, so my attempt at strong shadows has clearly failed.
So is religion (represented by this Church at West End – there’s a thing) an invention to keep some on the straight and narrow and to give comfort to others?
One of man’s gentler inventions.
