Glorious Autumn colours November 2007

First Whitby picture

I've just moved my studio into the Gallery in Whitby and to celebrate I did a Whitby picture. There's nothing like taking on a technically challenging piece in front of an audience. Judging from the reactions of people its gone O.K.
My current plan for the winter months is to carry on painting buildings and boats from the back of the gallery.

I've really enjoyed the woodland scenes of the last few weeks but it is time to move on. The fowl weather has broken and the open skies of the moors are calling. Watch this space.

Autumn colours

Here's a couple of smallish paintings of the woods at Falling Foss. We've had a wonderful autumn this year for colour, if only the leaves would stay on the trees for a couple more weeks.

Mirk Mire Moor

Mirk Mire moor in on the Stape road from Egton Bridge to Stape. The sun was dropping below a hill behind and hence the shadowy foreground.

Whitby East Pier

This has been a little whille in the making. I've had it standing on its side in my workshop since september and every time someone came in they commented on it. So finally I have finished it and I think it's alright
