Another layer of paint

Cannot resist working on this painting....

Re-think

I have been working on this painting for a while. It is 70x70cm, quite small for me. I have been thinking about scale, and the power of a limited colour palette. Look back to 24th November to see the last incarnation of this piece, the canvas is rich with marks and paint.

Another winter painting

A Winters Day

This painting is 90x90cm. It is so wintry here, snow is covering the ground and the sky is grey/white. Colours are leached out of the landscape.

Cold winters day painting

Commissioned painting

This is a big painting! it is 160x80cm. I have really enjoyed working on it...so much space!

Revisit

Added to my painting, posted on Wed 27th Oct. Thousands of tiny marks make up the bottom half of this picture.

Gold Boat

This little painting on watercolour paper has been in my kitchen for a week or two, I have just been looking at it. I think that i will use it as a sketch for a larger painting.

Orchard drawings

I will keep on working on these drawings, even though the leaves are falling very rapidly off the trees here. Autumn is descending!

Orchard painting

I have been working on this, it is 57x75cm, and it would be great if I could keep the spontaneity of the image.

Another commissioned painting

I have enjoyed working on this, it is smaller than most of my paintings, 70x70cm, and using darker, richer tones. I might explore this a bit further.

More apples.....

A few drawings

Apple orchards....i will do some more drawings here, it's beautiful.

September is my favourite month, so many apple trees in our lane, a lot of them being harvested this week.

From the blog in May called warm colours, this painting has been completed. Now I am really enjoying this painting, the balance of colours has changed and actually become more muted.

Beach View

The next few months

Very pleased to have sold at the Kent and Sussex Art fair, now I am focused on paintings for The Cambridge Art Fair, and for a new gallery I am showing with in Godalming called the Seascape Gallery. I will have work there in August. I have also been accepted to show my work at the Brighton Art Fair in September.
Can't wait to see my paintings from Pembrokeshire framed up. It's a few weeks away, I will publish a few pictures of them when I get them back.

Warm colours

I have been looking at this painting in my studio for a while, I need to take action. It is 90x90cm. Colours are pretty intense which I like.

Really enjoying this spring, it rained here last night, the sun is shining now and it's around 14degrees. Please excuse me sounding like a weather forecast or advert for visit Kent!! This painting is just finished, it is 90x90cm, destined for the Kent and Sussex art fair http://www.kentandsussexartfair.co.uk/
