Willy Lotts Cottage. 12x17", oils on board.

This is the second time I have painted this scene. I love the area and can`t wait to get back there again and get painting. I have explained Willy Lotts Cottage before, but will do so again. Willy was a great Artist friend of John Constable. He gave Constable lessons in and around this Area. Willy lived in this Cottage and that is where it gets it`s name from. I also stayed in the Cottage for a week when I went there on a weeks painting course. Also I have stayed in Constables Fathers Mill. This Mill and the cottage now belongs to the National Trust and they use it to give lessons on not only Art, but most everything else. It`s a great place to stay.

Nipper. 6x8, oils on board.

This is nipper, my son and his partners first cat. Sadly, Nipper was taken from them when he was still young. they have wonderful memories of him though and have this painting as another reminder of him.

Norfolk Colt. 6x8, oils on board.

this drawing is just to fill in a gap. It`s a Norfolk Colt, obviously bred in Norfolk. I have done several paintings but I am not happy with them. It`s that rut that we all go through now and then, why?

A way down, Leigh on sea.9x12, oils on board.

I did this painting almost plein Air about four years ago. I still haven`t got anything fresh to post, so I thought I had better post something. I have painted several subjects but not happy with. I think I am going through that phase that we all go through occasionally.

Sailing. 9x12, oils on board.

I fancied a change from Animals, so here`s a Seascape for a change. She looks busy but he looks like he is enjoying himself only, Men eh?.

Oski. 6x8, oils on board.

Oski is my Sons other Cat. I had`to do several alterations to satisfy him. Now he said it is Oski, thank God.

Tabby and ball. 6x8, oils on board

I did This little painting in between doing a larger one. It only took me 1.5 hours to do. I just wanted a break from the one that I was painting. This little chap can`t make up his mind what to do about the ball.

Bluebells at Stafford Woods. 9x12, oils on board.

I haven`t had time to paint anything for my Blog this last week, so I decided to post an old painting that I did last year sometime.

Heavy Clouds.

This painting took me one hour to do and it was from a photo that Jill Berry gave me permission to use. As usual it is my interpritation of the subject and not a true likeness of the subject. Thank you jill.
