I love this! Is it for sale? -
Enough blood, gore and cardiac arrests for one week. I am very glad that some people do this for a living - and I don't!

I just updated my facebook status and that automatically updates the smb profiles on all of my own websites.
I'm fine! 'Just finished a very intensive 7-days straight course on medical care aboard ships. Our ships don't carry doctors and it is a bit like TRYING to cram the essentials of 7 or 8 years worth of learning into 7 days: 2 or 3 for a nurse, 5 for a Doctor - and I don't know how long it usually takes to train a paramedic!!

Why do I always feel like I am breaking out of an institution for the criminally insane, every time I get off a ship? Well it is not compulsory to be mad to work here - but it definitely helps...

A pastel painting of Canadian Pacific Railway CP 8856 Powering through early winter snow. From an excellent photo by Canadian photographer Jim Winsor. (Photo used with Jim's very kind permission.) The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year. I braved the elements today to capture this rare for me image of such a beauty. I arrived at this location and it was dull and overcast which soon gave way to a lite blowing snowfall. This beauty could be heard off in the distance and low and behold, out of the blowing snow she came."Free -

From a photo of Mita Rani Das After laying-out the initial colour scheme, I brushed over the different colours with a soft brush dipped in clean water, in order to make a sort of watercolor-type background wash.

From a photo of Mita Rani Das In the initial stage of the painting, I just roughly laid-out the general shapes and color scheme with soft pastels on a tough, course watercolor paper. Photo used as the basis for this painting with the very kind permission of Mita Rani Das© © Mita Rani Das

The finished article. This is as far as I am going with this. If try to improve it, I will just end-up spoiling the painting. Anyway, I think it captures something of that beautiful locomotive blasting the snow away as it pulls a train through the first snowfall of winter.. I would just like to thank Jim Winsor for allowing me use his excellent photograph - to which this feeble attempt of mine does very little justice!© © Jim Winsor

Canadian Pacific 8856 Powering Through Early Snow 002

This was the painting at the end of the second session. Just starting to add some detail and give it some form. At this stage, the painting is more like a childish colored crayon sketch - but I have high hopes for this one when it is finished! -
From the album: Have a go!
This is the first stage of the painting. I made the background color scheme by blocking-in the main colors with soft pastels on heavy, course-grained watercolor paper - and then going over the different areas with clean water on a paint brush in order to make a watercolor wash effect. I am basing this painting on a really nice photo by Jim Winsor. http://www.facebook.com/jim.winsor.75 Photo used as reference material with Jim's very kind permission. The original photograph on which this painting will be based, can be down-loaded at: http://www.photoartf...ailway-cp-8856/ The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year.

A pretty young girl making the victory sign. From a photo in Joharah Ruth Alonzo's facebook profile: www.facebook.com/prettyjoharah My apologies to Jarah for the hand... I would have tried to make a better job of this but I find if I try too hard to sort-out the mistakes, I just end-up ruining the thing altogether. ('Better to stop while the going is still good...)
