The Big Manston Airport – Stone Hill Park debate and my early morning painting of Ramsgate progresses

First the Painting of Ramsgate from The Oak Hotel Looking towards The Royal Temple Yacht Club. If you have been following this one you will have seen that it is progressing from the top left to the bottom right of the A4 sheet, probably to be terminated by a seagull movement just before it’s finished.

The difficult bits this morning were the writing on the sign as you can’t paint light on dark with watercolour, so I had to paint on the writing in white and orange and then paint the black round it and painting on the scaffolding poles, one slip and no more painting.


Picture for art critics here.


The is a very active Manston debate with nearly 1,000 comments on facebook, click on the link to view it https://www.facebook.com/groups/516220578418850/permalink/1001138516593718/ and oh I am so glad that I have managed to reduce the amount of comment on this blog, administering this sort of debate I something of a nightmare.

Post a Comment

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
