About Me
- Victor Errington
- I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away. I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject. I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week. Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked for Barclays bank.
This is beautifully painted, Vic!!! Are these two people from your sketches? Love the colors!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda.
ReplyDeleteNo, these two hikers passed us while we were sketching, and I quickly took a photo of them. Also I took photos of several others as well. Thank you for your nice comment my friend. All the best Hilda.

Good morning my friend, thank you for your email and wake up call, for me to get back to blogging. I have missed so many of your post. So let me say, this is exactly what is so special about your painting. You have it all, the splendor of the quaint cottages, foliage and people. Oh Vic, I just love your work. Well done. Now I must go enjoy the rest of your post.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your lovely comment my friend.
This painting is in the same area as my oast house painting. I did explain that these oast`s houses are for drying the hops. We always went to pick hops every year. All the family went because it was a Holiday as well as earning some money. My job was to go each morning to collect the milk. Mum always gave me a much larger jug to collect it in because I always drank half of it before i got back, i was only four at the time. all the best Joan.
