Moorland sunset

I'm really getting into this new technique. Here is a close up to give you a better idea.

First week back in the studio

The summer season has begun in Whitby allowing me to escape the gallery. To celebrate I've done a heavily textured painting. It's a style I'm really enjoying, it prevents me getting hung up on detail and forces me to concentrate on colour. The texture also adds another dimension that I fine almost hypnotic, unfortunately it's almost impossible to get a decent photo.

Glaisedale commission

Here's a little one of Glaisedale I knocked off in a spare moment.

Sorry

I would like to apologize for the lack of posts over the winter. This has been due to me working in the gallery and I simply ran out of time. Normal service will hopefully resume at Easter.

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.
