on nice snny days its nice to sit in the caravan with the windows open and a breeze going.
sometimes you wait for inspiration to do a painting then suddenly on the spur of the moment u just get on and paint something.
this was inspired by a sailing friend who goes running, he took a picture which i thought would be good to paint  so here is a more colorful version of it .

12x10 oil on canvas board 

studland phone box March 4th

this is a famous view thats been photographed many times,
this is my 2nd oil painting of the year.
12x10 on canvas board.
just over an hour to paint , the phone box was challenging to do after i had painted the background first.
overall pleased.

Buttermere returns in oil

Since moving i have not done any paintings apart from acrylics on pebbles or stones.
this is my first oil painting for ages. i had sketched it out after i returned from the lake district in september 2018. my new painting den is a caravan that was left by the perev owners. it has very good light and gives good views of the cambrian mountains, and our animals out in the fields.
with the desk all set and the computer playing pulse i set about doing this fav view in oil for the first time.
just over an hour later the deed was done  or approx 11 tracks later.
