'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.

'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.

'Mumbles'


'Mumbles' 
Acrylic on Canvas Board (30x30cm) 
For Sale £75 (inc worldwide shipping)


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.
