The Steps, Polperro. 9x12, Oils on board.

My Wife Rosemary and I went to Cornwall

for a weeks Holiday a couple of years ago.

We went on a Coach trip to Polperro, and

I took lots of Photos. I couldn`t resist taking

this one of these lovely winding steps for

a painting, and this is the result.

Blubells in Stafford Woods. 9x12, Oils on board.

Stafford Woods is a really dense Woods.

Each year I and a few other Artist`s

Visit this place solely to paint the

Bluebells. This painting was done

last year Plein Air.

Corner of our Garden. 9x12,oils on board

I did this painting sitting in our Garden.

But I always take a photo of anything

that I paint,just incase anything happens,

well it did. It absolutely poured down.

So I completed it in my studio. Didn`t

have a lot to do though.

Rainbow Bay 2. 24"x19.5",Oils on board.

This is from the Sketch that I posted yesterday.

Rainbow bay is in New South Wales Australia.

A friends sister who lives there sent some

photos of this area, and I wanted to paint them.

It must be a beautiful place, and lovely to live

there. This painting will be the last of

Rainbow Bay. I`m going to a place called

Rye on Sunday with our Art club,and hope

to do a couple of the local scenes. Also take

some photos for other paintings.

Sketch for Rainbow Bay 2.6x8,Oils on board.

This is a sketch for Rainbow Bay 2. Same area,

but a different subject. I have started the Larger

painting,and probably complete it tomorrow.

I think this one will be the last of this area,

I`ve had enough.

Don`t get too close.6x8,Oils on board.

Not a lot to say about this one except that

he does look a killer doesn`t he? He probably

has just had his dinner, so you should be safe.

Just a baby. 9x12, Oils on board.

Just fancied painting it. Also I wanted to cover

the whole board with the subject, I wanted

this format.

Sketching at Heybridge. 9x12, Oils on board.

Heybridge basin is a lovely spot not only for

Artist`s but also for anybody who likes to look

at the Sea and to relax. I went there with

our Art club and did some painting and sketching,

and took some photos. this one is from a photo.

We even had a cream tea, (I shouldn`t have done

that). The two Ladies are Club members, and

the chap sketching is my painting friend Harry.

This is a larger Painting of Rainbow Bay,

New South Wales.It was done from a Photo

that a friends Sister had sent him.At one

time the Water was absolutely covered

in,I can only describe it as Dirty Foam.

It looked terrible and scary.We haven`t

had the reason this happened, but as you

can see,it is back to it`s original self now.
