My home office....plus a new painting

Remember a while ago, when I mentioned I was working on my <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2011/01/changes-afoot.html">home office</a>? Well, there's been progress. The desk has arrived (which is actually an interim option, but that's another story) and I've started to gather some bits and bobs to pretty up the space. Take a look:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEH89aDtvAh9X8GkeXC9ORyciYMt8cvG9P3-PsIj0j2AEvJrRcd9nLBos2fZijPcsdDWidlNyJ6WSwdA0zT-5wVc5eMksysjt2JUy6dV1VtmS1R6CJtL_MKgE3BdQFkun36BgfRyyWMA8/s1600/sea+fern+III+denim+situ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEH89aDtvAh9X8GkeXC9ORyciYMt8cvG9P3-PsIj0j2AEvJrRcd9nLBos2fZijPcsdDWidlNyJ6WSwdA0zT-5wVc5eMksysjt2JUy6dV1VtmS1R6CJtL_MKgE3BdQFkun36BgfRyyWMA8/s640/sea+fern+III+denim+situ.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">What's that you say?

A very savvy someone (I'll spill the beans soon on just who that someone is!) suggested going large for these works, so who am I to argue? Stay tuned for paintings that will definitely make a statement - I'm talking 1-2 metres square here.
