'Devon Fields 1, 2 , 3' SOLD

I have enjoyed painting this over three canvases! A triptych! I have used thick acrylic paint and a palette knife for experiment with paint application. I like the blocky effect you can achieve working like this and it stops you getting too detailed. I wanted to explore the patchwork effect of the fields in Devon and the way the sun catches them.


SOLD

'Pondo' SOLD

Here is a piece of work I did in oil pastels for a change. They are great to work in once you get used to them! I loved the way this woman's eyes are hidden under the head-dress she is wearing.

SOLD

'Caswell' SOLD

I am doing a series of landscapes from a holiday I had two Summers ago on The Gower Peninsula in Wales! Stunning scenery, although the sun did not shine much! Ah well,.... sometimes the soft tones of a grey day can be more interesting to paint. I painted this in acrylics and used a metallic silver to mix with the sky colour to give it a lovely subtle shine. I like using acrylic silver paint as it makes the other paints more translucent and gives a lovely sheen.

I gave myself a time limit to paint today's piece in only one hour! It is a great ideas as it stops you being too precious about what you are painting and makes you really look at what the 'essence' of the subject is! I hope you like the results!


This was worked from a photograph taken while on holiday near Mumbles in Wales. I liked the way the sun suddenly came out, (it had been a very wet week!) and lit the sea.

Second Cup - SOLD

I really enjoyed the daily piece I did yesterday of the illy cup so I have painted it again today.

I had a really bad painting day yesterday! : ( Started an oil painting of a landscape and was so frustrated with it, I wiped it clean! Will have to work on oils and get the hang of them again! Then I painted another coastal scene which was going well, but then I ruined it and decided enough was enough!

Anyway, back to the acrylics today and much happier! Hope you are enjoying my daily art!

I started a Facebook Group two days ago called Cat Salter Daily Paintings and have already loads of members!

Had to work late last night to get this painting done! It took longer than I thought it would. Surprising how something so simple looking can be such a challenge!


I took this photo at Portobello Market in a small cafe and liked the light striking the cup and the froth on the teaspoon! Will get on with a painting earlier today!

Wine Class Shadow SOLD

This was a difficult subject! Amazing how much detail there is to see in a wine glass!

Started a Facebook Group yesterday and was amazed how many people joined up so quickly! Lovely! Well, I sold one of my paintings 'Converse with me'. The first of my daily paintings! It is like one of your children going out into the world....

I am back painting after a break of a few weeks. Christmas got in the way and it is hard to find enough light to paint by in the winter months! Then we were snowed in and my girls have been home from school....I know it sounds like excuses...well it is!


Never mind! Am painting now!
