So to cheer myself up, here's something I did a while ago.
Follow the wall (Derbyshire)
Acrylic on stretched canvas
12" x 16"
There's some wonderful countryside in Derbyshire's Peak District. I can't remember exactly where I saw this old stone wall, but I believe it may have been somewhere near Monsal Dale.
Will have some new work to post soon.

Beautiful landscape painting, John.
Looking for a job is one of the most stressful and frustrating things to do, but you are a very creative and innovative man, so I will bet that that new, exciting and high paying job is just around the corner:)
Thanks Nancy.
That exciting and high paying job.....just what I keep telling myself!!!
Oh I'm sorry to hear that you are still looking for a job. I hope and pray that you can land one soon so that you can indulge in your great love for painting. God is good. Just put your trust in Him and He will never let you down. I pray to the good Lord that He gives you the best job you could ever find. This I pray heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.
Thanks Mel.
Your prayer is very much appreciated and thanks from myself and Maeve for your post on Maeve's work.
The painting is beautiful! Praying you get a job soon.
It's beautiful, John. The painting has a lot of depth, and I love seeing a stone fence. You've cheered me up! Thanks! {:-D
You are extremely talented and this painting is a proof for it! :) BTW, we all are with you and pray that you get the best and most deserving job! :)
Such beauty, such timelessness, I love the depth each stone has in the wall, your talent is wonderful to see :)
Very nice piece here, John. I like the deeper color palette for a change... or maybe that's just your "acrylic" style as opposed to your watercolors?
Good luck with the job hunting:)

I'm hoping something will come your way very soon... something better than before...
Then you'll be back to painting again and whistling while you work!!
