Sketches.

Sketches until I get back to painting.

Ferry on the broads.

These two paintings are really an exercise to get back into painting. Both on the Norfolk Broads.

Fishing. 9x12, oils on board.

Fishing on the Norfolk Broads. I painted this one about a week ago now. At the moment i`m off painting due to what we all go through occasionally ( Not wanting to paint )

Narrow Boat resting. 9x12, oils on board.

I do love narrow boat subjects.

Lone grazing. 12x17, oils on board.

This is one of Brian Ryders subjects. I really fancied painting this one. It`s in the Norfolk Broads. Beautiful Area.

Margaret, Colin, Bill and Vic at Chiddingstone. 9x12 oils on board.

Vic is behind the camera I might add. But I was still there.

Stream running through. 9x12, oils on board.

This scene is in Southern France. What I liked about it was the stream and the light against the building compared with the darkness of the tree.

Outward bound. 6x8, oils on board.

This was a quickie study, 1 hour. I laid it on thick and really enjoyed the exercise.

Landscape in the Lake district. 9x12 oils on board

I liked the lovely open space that it has. No Birds as my son would say.

Just Looking. 12x17 Oils on Board.

Lovely Oast`s at Cherry Tree farm. Me and a dear Artist friend of mine found this lovely scene on one of our many sketching trips a few years ago. Bill was a lovely man and a brilliant Artist. At the time he worked for the ford motor company. I believe he drew and designed the cars for them. It was always a good feeling when I went with him sketching. He was such a brilliant landscape Artist, and I learnt a lot from him. It was so sad when he died. I went to visit him in Hospital at one time, and I asked the nurse where to find him and she told me, but I had a search for him but I had`to go back to the nurse to ask again. I had already spotted him but he looked so bad that i didn`t recognise him. I will never forget that particular time.
