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
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)
I always like seeing your work. There is something very charming and inocent about them. The boat and the two peolple is delightfully simple and yet also has interest in the whole picture ,light,sky etc and instantly something we can all enjoy and relate too.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cottages again has the same qualities.
