Been a busy couple of months in the studio already this year!! I started painting the Last Train To Butlins section of the Alloway tunnel just prior to Christmas but had to prioritise finishing our Tam O’ Shanter in time for Burns Night. Every portrait needs care , attention and my undivided focus. If anyone has bought in and can’t see themselves here, never fear I have more portraits I am still working on. Updates will come more frequently now the show is well on the road, This seemed like a good moment to share the progress so far! If you want to be part of the last train to Butlins section of the Alloway tunnel there is still room, follow the link below to my website and the instructions are all therewww.chrisrutterford.com/alloway-tunnel-mural/ ...
