I call this Waterloo Sunset - it's a view of London from Waterloo Bridge. I really hope to somehow give this to Ray at one of the shows I'm attending, since I painted it especially for him

You should have used this as a clue on the Alternative Titles thread. But put me down for a shirt and a mug! I agree that this could become an iconic Kinks image.
I haven't been keeping up with this part of the board. You're very talented, Sleepy!

So lovely, KinkCan. I love how dramatic you've made the sky.

It's a great day for the artists of this board. Here's what I've done this afternoon. I LOVE this Kinkcan!! Holly is right about your dramatic sky, and I especially like the trees. Some lovely colours you've used in this painting I always enjoy seeing your art. I'm glad you liked my painting too

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my painting. Holly, I'm really honoured that you think Kinks fans would like this, and that it's good enough to put on t-shirts etc - I was expecting that kind of reaction from anyone - thank you!! Wouldn't have thought of using this on the Alt.Titles thread Gary! Glad you like it! If you haven't already then take a look back at this thread - Kinkcan, Smiley and Uncleson have contributed some lovely art work Ah, thankyou for your nice comments Uncle and 16, you're very kind Well, I can tell you that I did indeed get my painting to Ray tonight! I gave it to him not long before he left the stage, and he looked really surprised but thanked me, also he kinda showed it to the audience a bit. I waited for him, along with other fans, to leave the building. He signed my ticket and asked me if I'd done the painting, I told him that I had and he told me he liked it! I was really happy that he said that. I also asked if he remembered signing my arm so I could have it tattooed, he said he did (I hope he really did remember and wasn't just being polite!) so I showed him it and he smiled. Anyway, here's a photo of Ray onstage with the painting -

Oh, I forgot to add that you were right Holly, I did use acrylics - they are my favourite medium to work with.

I'm sure he did remember signing your arm for the tattoo -- can't be too many fans with requests like that! I'll bet anything he keeps that painting around a bit. Maybe it'll go onto the walls at Konk!!

You know Holly, I was hoping it might get put up in Konk too I'm hoping Ray remembered me, not just for the tattoo but also because the same night he signed my arm I told him about Lola. Off to see him again tonight Ah, thank you Smiley You know, I really don't paint as much as I'd like to because of my health. But I was determined to finsh this one in the hope that I'd get it to RD.
