Bath Marathon, DAY 3

These are shots from day 3. I had to paint under shelter because of the changing weather conditions. The constant walking around to find good sheltered locations almost made me loose out in valuable painting time. Thank God I got 4, done!

Bath Marathon, DAY 2

It's day 2 and the rains make it almost miserable to paint. But I had to find shelter spots. It wasted time but I managed to get back on track. Enjoy the pictures below as I battle it out!

Adebanji on painting 11-it was 12 midnight and the lights on the Abbey went completely out, the painting ended up looking spooky

Bath Marathon, DAY 1

Yes, as promised I have here the pics of me painting in and around the City of Bath.

I have never embarked on such a Marathon before and I'm not so keen on long distances, at school I was more of a sprinter, quick and fast but when it comes to Marathons, especially with the prevailing and unpredictable British weather-it's going to take some real grit and endurance.

Here are some pictures.
