Nature's tapestry on the rolling hills.

Studio Musings...

I completely missed writing my blog yesterday as you might have noticed.

I was engrossed in household jobs and forgot.

To make up for that I will post two in one today.

Autumn Glow   Oils on gessoed 140lb paper  8 x 12 inches  £ 106  $ 130

Remembering autumn and a view up a green lane.

The track on the left leads my eye towards the warm horizon.

Light in the sky is echoed on the ground.

I have been making a group of studies on this watercolour paper.

The gessoed surface is really good for rough brush strokes giving the

impression of twiggy tree tops and clumps of grass

.  Dimples in the paper catch and hold the oils. 

Quickly painted I try not to tighten up and fiddle.  

It is very tempting to add just a few more marks and then regret it.

(Both paintings are available on DailyPaintworks.com

or an email to me for UK collectors).
