A work in progress. Practicing my waves from the comfort of my studio. I was very good and planned it out before hand, and then accidentally got purple on my brush and that is why the under painting is purple. Mapping out the lighter tones. Getting the colour in. A snapshot of my palette. It’s […]
Guess where I’ve been on a Sunday? It was two weeks ago but I’ve been revising for an exam so painting sadly had to take a back seat. We perched on the cliff tops as we were both tired and couldn’t face the thought of hauling all our stuff up the cliff path. We pitched […]
I am determined to plan my paintings out more. No more trying to fix mistakes that I should have thought about earlier. It’s a work in progress, but it means I am carting a sketchbooks around with me. Currently top of the pile is this little Daler Rowney Ivory sketchbook with very thin paper. It […]
I’ve had a couple of snow days…. and spent them being sick. So now I’m using my time figuring out how to make the right kind of greys (that I didn’t need last Sunday….) A long time ago in CassArt, when you had to go down to London because they didn’t ship, I bought myself […]

Plein air painting, another old one! Oil on canvas board. This one was sold to a gentleman from down south who liked collecting paintings of local buildings. It’s from a farm in a local village whose goats tried to eat all our pack lunches and the chickens were pecking our paint. Outdoor painting hazards!
When we had the builders in, a few years ago, I painted in my bedroom, so I used acrylics. This is one of those paintings that just happened, a very rare occurrence.
Here’s a painting from July, 2015. A copse of trees huddling together in the sunrise painted with a limited palette.
