Love this image. My Granny used to paint with oils too. I made me think of her instantly. Your Gramps sounds great. x
Thank you BM! :) Your Granny sounds like she was a pretty cool lady too! x
Wow, amazing that your Grandpa still paints! Looks like he’s busy at work…

Thanks Jazzy! xxxx
Ooo will we get to see the finished painting? Great colours!
When I am back in the summer, I will try and get a snap! Thank you! :)
I love this shot. Really inspires me to get my paints out, wish I had my own little space or studio!
So do I, so do I! Thank you :)
Beautiful picture- I just love those colours- makes me want to reach out and touch!
Thank you so much Emma! :)
this is the sort of thing I dream of
a. owning this stuff
b. being able to use it
c. having the time
d. having some talent
e. an airy studio with sea views (St Ives?)
f. lottery win (sort of related)
And I too would like ALL of the above! Would be lovely wouldn’t it?
Thank you Gemma! xx
Beautiful photo of your Grandad’s art tools, looks like a real labour of love and at 92 he is truly an inspiration
Thank you very much! He really is! :)
love this :)
Thanks Tina! :)
How inspirational to have a Granddad who paints among others things at ’92’, long may he continue!
Thank you Fiona… Here’s to that! :)
I love this close up of an artist’s work space.
Thank you Pat! I was lucky with the sun coming out, wouldn’t have looked the same otherwise! :)
Love it. Great shot.
Thanks Spen! :)
wow what a fab picture, would love to see what your painting looks like :-)
Thanks Jaime! :)
Now that really appeals to me,the mess and the colours,Iam NO artist tho,far from it!I like mess tho! X
Me too! Thanks Jess! :) x
Beautiful close up, the colours are gorgeous. My Grandad is an inspiration to me too and I feel very blessed to still have him in my life at my age :-D
Thank you Lou! I feel the same, we are very lucky! :)
Ooo some serious work going on here. I’m very curious about the end result! Great close up.
Thanks Sabrina! So am I! :)
Fantastic! I love the composition and the colours.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it! :)
I love the fact that this is your Granddad’s art studio – a true inspiration!
Thank you for linking up with Photo of The Week XXXX
Thank you Louise. I am only sad about the fact that I don’t get to go there very often though :/ xxx
A portrait of creativity!
Isn’t it just! Not mine unfortunately! :D
Someone’s been busy!
Indeed! And I don’t know how he fits it all in, he has so many projects on the go! Thank you! :)
I love the colours, your granddad sounds an inspiration. I really love it when the colours come together like this, almost accidental, something I can never manage to recreate even when I try!
Thank you Sarah! :)
Your Grandfather sounds amazing, wonderful he still paints in oils and so beautifully too – spotted the picture in your previous post. Love the messy mix of colours x
Thank you… I hope I have as much energy and positivity at his age! :)
Gorgeous photo :) My dad is an artist too although more line drawing than painting. But I live the smell and density of oils, and the mess! Thank you so much for sharing this. x
Thanks so much! :)
Such an interesting shot and the angle and colours are just brilliant.
Thank you! Colours helped by a super sunny and bright conservatory! :)
That photo tells such a story. Love it.
Thank you Jean! :)
Wow. Your grandpa is now one of my heroes too. Just brilliant. Lovely, vivid capture.
Thank you… He really is incredible, especially for a 92 year old! :D
I love that, very inspiring…
Thank you! He is indeed quite inspirational! :)
That looks fabulously creative (just read the other comments – how inspiring that your Grandad still paints). I’m not good with kids and paint mess but it’s OK with grown-ups (more contained!)
Thank you, I know exactly what you mean! :D
Love the artistic mess and the strong colours
Thank you! :)
Ooo I’d love to see one of his paintings – sounds like a blog post needs to be written about your Grandpa!
If you have a look at a post or two down (soul plasters) you will see a half finished pic there! :D Thank you, maybe one day!
Ooo lovely and colourful and creative!
Thank you Annie xx
Grown ups making a mess for a change! Brilliant photo, as always.
Thank you Suzanne… Likewise! :)
Really sums up artist at work. Makes an interesting still life subject.
Thank you… I loved the colours and the mess! :D
wow I love this! love that your grandad is so creative too.. can we see his paintings?
Thanks Sarah… You can see one on a post below – soul plasters! I will have to feature some more of his work one day, it’s lovely! :)
That looks like an artist has been very hard at work! Is it finished yet?
Not quite I don’t think! Thank you! :)
Beautiful capture, that is so great that your Gramps is so creative, thanks for sharing this picture.
Thank you for commenting! :)
Looks like your Grandad is very resourceful in his creativity.
Thanks PO… he is! :)
How wonderful! You obviously get your creativity from your Grandad x
Aw thank you! I can but hope! :) x
fantastic colours xx
Thanks Wendy xx
Looks like someone has been doing some serious painting! Love the colours :-)
Thank you Xandi! :)
Great picture. Makes me want to paint x
Thank you… I am intrigued by oils, but never get on that well with them! x
Wow, looks like your Grandad is one very amazing and creative man
Thank you, I think he is too! :)
I love that your Grandad is still painting, what a wonderful long creative life!
He truly is an inspiration! Thanks Sonya! :)
I am not good with paint mess either, but love the colours!
Thanks Kara! :)
An artist at work x Great colours
Thank you Shahnaz!
This is the part of art I hate – the messy bit. Good photo though.
I actually like this part too, the more mess the better! Thank you :)
What a fabulous close-up. Is it you creating something artistic or someone else?
Thank you Sarah… I took it when visiting my grandparents last week. My Gramps is 92 but still paints, writes and takes amazing photos. He’s one of my heros! :)
I was about to ask the same question. Kudos to your Gramps! x
Thanks Claire! :)
It must be so inspiring to see his spirit, at his age. I’m so tempted to pan across the photograph to see the painting!
He is pretty incredible… Nothing seems to phase him, not even the latest technology that usually has me baffled! Thank you :)
