Hello and welcome to my Blog
‘Sapphire blue on a Summer’s day’
Oils and cold wax medium on 20 x 20 inch canvas
I am happy to say my painting disaster
last week has now turned a corner.
Just to remind you...
This was the beginning...
Then there was this ‘ugly stage’’
after trying anything to move it on.
I decided to lock the studio door and walk away.
Turning the canvas round I added more vibrant blue
and some soft creamy yellow.
Little fragments of green here and there
are a reminder of my previous struggle.
It is reminiscent of the coastline in summer.
I like it.
Today was a good day.
Several new small pieces are drying on my tables.
‘Passage into Night’
Oils and cold wax medium on 6 x 6 inch canvas board
This little picture only took minutes to make.
It was a reject from the studio cupboard
with a black under-painting and a
few left-over colours from my palette.
Sometimes I think the faster I work brings more
success than toiling over a difficult piece and fussing.
On a roll, I decided to give this little picture a re-vamp.
Using some Burnt Sienna and Indian Yellow
I swept it over the surface and
then scraped some away.
Finally, a mix of Indian Yellow and Titanium White
was used for the swirl of cream.
Some scratching into the wet paint
completed the picture.

Until next time...
Thank you for visiting.
