Backpacking. 9x12, Oils on board.

I know all about this backpacking business.

I use`to do it myself. Snowdon was my favourite

area. But also the Black Mountains and other

places as well. I loved it. Any Backpackers out

there?

The White Cliffs of Dover. 9x12, Oils on board.

White Cliffs of Dover was painted yesterday.

It`s from an old Photo that I have. I love the

cragginess of it. It is protected by the

National Trust for Scientific interest. It

overlooks the English Channel.

Whose a pretty Girl then?.6x8 oils on board

Did this one this morning. Another 6x8,

I love doing them,and they are really

helpful in getting to know your paints.

Hey you, get back.6x8 oils on board

I painted these Cherries on Tuesday, but couldn`t

post them because my computer had gone down.

It was down to my server, NTL. They managed

to fix it late yesterday. It`s amazing how much we

rely on them eh?.

Abbie lou at Leigh on Sea. 9x12 Oils on board

This area is a sea port, so naturally there are Boats.

But the Abbie Lou struck me as the best option

to paint. I didn`t get the chance to find out

what work it did, but never mind eh?

Rott`s. 19.5"x15.5", Pen and Ink on Watercolour Paper.

Most of these Pen and Ink Drawings are

of our dear lovable Sandy. She died several

years ago. she was a Rottweiler, and she

was brilliant in every way. I did get a

special recommendation at a competition

for this Drawing. I think it`s the only

time I have ever won something.

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.
