At Keston lakes. 9x12, oils on board.

I did this one a few weeks ago at keston lakes. This is the second one I did whilst there. I wasn`t going to post it because I wasn`t too sure whether it was good enough to post, then I thought, why not, so here it is, like it or not.

Scene at Norman Park. 9x12, oils on board.

This painting was done from an oil Sketch that I did at Norman Park. It`s my interpritation of it. I chopped it about to reasonably please myself.

Harry and Vic at Norman Park.

This painting was painted from Norman Park. The two photos are my friend Harry and I. I`m in the dark coat. There is a little story to this painting. A young lady came up and asked if she could look, naturally we said yes. She said that her family was into Arts, and she related what they did, then she said my Dads name is Harry, and told us that she was expecting a baby ( We could see that ) and that if it is a Boy, she will call it Harry. And I said, for his second name why don`t you call him Victor, she said yes I will. Now wasn`t that lovely of her. She was a really lovely young lady as well. She even said she liked our paintings, that made our day.

Willy Lotts Cottage 3. 9x12, oils on board.

This is the third time I have painted Willy Lotts Cottage, I love the subject. Also I think it is the best yet of this subject. As I have said before, Willy Lott was a friend Of John Constable. He also was an Artist, and it is said that he gave Constable lessons and encouraged him.Good old Willy eh? This cottage is on Constables Fathers Mill land. Obviousely not now because it belongs the the National Trust. Beautiful area with lovely trees in abundent.

Cotswold Scene. 9x12, oils on board.

This is a scene in the Cotswolds. Also it`s the first painting I`ve done in what seems to be for ever, but it is a week I think.
