Haven of peace.

Lakeside at Benniworth Haven   Oils on canvas 5 x 6.5 inches

Remembering the peaceful day beside the lakes in this lovely place.

Studio Musings...

It is some years since my visit but the memory is still with me. 

 I wanted to give a sense of wild and abstracting the image seems right.

It is easy to tighten up with a subject like this...trying to be too realist and photographic wouldn't give me the same feeling.  The colours are muted for the same reason.

The study is quite bold and I like the brushwork.  

Strong, brave strokes set down and left alone.
