Looking At The World In Black & White

9/9/2019

I've had sticks of charcoal lying around in drawers for ... well years!
Occasionally I've got them out and dabbled - but last week I felt the need to express my self, or rather my feelings/emotions toward this scene, in black and white. So it seemed an opportune moment to delve into that box of silky smooth carbon and produced this!

'Storm Approaching' - charcoal & conte on watercolour paper

Sugar Bowl

23/7/2019

Another oil on board, framed and for sale.
This was a portion of a larger painting - I wasn't happy with the overall look and as the sugar bowl was the main subject of the painting ... I trimmed the edges down and re-framed the painting with a double mount.

Instow

My favourite local spot, by the sea - just playing around, trying a more graphic representation.
Think I might add one or two seagulls to the sky area!

Back To Detail

14/2/2019

Working on a commission at the moment, and for a while, back to more detailed work!
I'm working with acrylics and have put down the basic colours as a starting point, adding a little detail to the eyes.

'Dahlias In Pot'

30/1/2019

The garden and countryside are just beginning to emerge from their winter dormancy, with drifts of the ever lovely, snowdrop.
Not a snowdrop painting this time, but one I have just finished. I took a photo of these 'dahlias in pot', last autumn - making a note of colours, for reference. The true colour values seem to get lost sometimes in photos

High & Dry At Instow

8/11/2018

For some reason I forgot to photograph this one before framing. It's an oil on board, the same as the others, but I decided to try framing it with a mount.
I've really enjoyed painting the beach scenes at Instow and I'm sure there's more to come!
