How it starts!

I have always found it difficult to record what I am painting while I am painting as it seems more important to get on with painting than record the process....it also seems to take me out of the 'zone' sometimes. However I have tried to do this here and there, as I get people asking me about the 'process'. Well  here are some pics of how some of my paintings started and then how they ended up!

 

and this is what my hand looked like!
