Aloha everyone!
Another AHPC Season comes to an end - this was my 11th but the first I've entered while living overseas (which was quite challenging!). World events and work travel cut into my time but that made my brush time all the more enjoyable for its restorative effects.

| Somehow, it always feels like more while I'm painting it! :-) |
This year saw me tackle some different projects: Dystopian Wars, Astronauts and Cosmonauts on the moon, a new Crimean War army, and some Retro- SciFi figures. Naturally, the broad shift away from GW figures meant my skull count was well down this year!
I really enjoyed the return of the Bonus Rounds this year and entered all three. I was thrilled to pick up a shared second place in the "Toy Story" theme with my Moon Walkers.

| The struggle is real: well done Alan! |
Thank you fellow challengers for making it such fun, particularly our ANZAC paint and chat crew for the banter (and having Curt dial in for the start was especially cool!). I hope we can continue these sessions post challenge.

| Some statistical analysis to keep Miles happy! |
Accolades as always to Curt, Sarah and the fabulous minions who enable the entire enterprise. I deeply appreciate the time, effort and focus you deliver with a wonderful sense of humour.
Aloha & Mahalo! Until next time everyone :-)
Considering the disruption to your painting time Paul, that is still a great output and mid-ranking in your Challenge 'history'. I loved the space things you were doing - lots of childhood memories for me. The paint catchups have been great and it is nice to see the view from your paint room :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, appreciated - I enjoyed our chats (with all the Ashes series sledging of the Brits!) along the way too and hope we can keep doing more!
DeleteWonderful output Paul and a great chart. The view from your painting room would be hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom - true, but its a little distracting (in the best possible way)!
DeleteGreat stuff mate,
ReplyDeleteGood to see some old favourites on the desk.
Cheers
Matt
Cheers Matt, appreciated!
DeleteThat’s a good one - well done Paul
ReplyDeleteThanks mate!
DeletePaul I liked you video-I might give that a go. And your selection of painting subjects was most enjoyable all the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Norber -glad the video worked out ok!
DeleteA valiant effort, Paul.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray!
DeleteGreat one mate. I am gobsmacked about how you can fit in so much painting while the "real world" keeps you so busy.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - a patient and understanding better-half is the real answer!
DeleteThat's a lot of done, Paul! I've been thinking about a video, too, let's see if I manage to produce one. See You in December!
ReplyDeletethanks Teemu - see you then!
DeleteIt was wonderful as always to have you with us, Paul. You provide such good energy and enthusiasm - a rare commodity these days. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt - you set the tone, we just pick it up and keep it going!
DeleteGreat work Paul - well done on working things in despite the challenges of work and being overseas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg - appreciated!
DeleteLove the grasshopper variety, and very impressed with the output and quality!
