dutch elms in the snow

Here's my latest little one, it's 9" x 12"  Acrylic on canvas and I'm very pleased with it.  It's a place in Holland, photo taken by a dutch bloke which I found on Flickr.  The only thing is that the photo has come out square but the painting is oblong.  The photo, in my opinion doesn't do it justice (even though I say so myself...never mind, you'll just have to see for yourself and come to my exhibition at Penzance Library in January and February.  hee hee. :)

Christmas Twilight and White Sails

Christmas Twilight

It seems like ages since I've put anything on this blog.  I almost forgot how to make my way around it.

I felt like painting dusk, the colour of it, I love dusk in the winter, such gorgeous skies and the air smells of coke (coal), very peaceful.

I found a photo of two small cottages in the Yorkshire Dales and decided to paint them.  Actually, there were no windows in the photo as it was of the back of the cottages, so I painted them in.. artistic licence. I'm very pleased with the result.  It's Acrylic on Canvas 18" x 28"

The good news is I have an exhibition at Penzance Library from 5 Jauary 2012 until 29 February 2012!!  Quite a long time.  I've been busy getting paintings framed and looking for my water colours to mount as well as typing up indexes.

Very exciting!  Hope you go along and have a look. :)

White Sails

This is a painting I did for Kate my sister in law as she lost her Mum a few weeks ago.
They both love sailing so I thought it was quite appropriate.  I copied the yacht from another photo that Barry took on the way back from Morlaix.

It's Acrylic on Acrylic Paper (half A3)
