Closing the books on Phil, starting a new journey

It has been seven months since I last heard from my travelling-around-the-world painting 'Phileas 365', so I can only put it as Missing in Action.

It was an experiment, it was worth a shot.

But I'm still fond of the idea, and the 21st of september is approaching soon, so I'm thinking of launching his sidekick - following the Jules Verne novel, Phileas travelled with his companion Passepartout. I'll paint a new traveller, hoping to see it travel the world as a first. Or to see Phileas emerge again, who knows? Anything can happen with travelling paintings, that's what makes it such fun. Keep an eye out, cheers!
