Weekend Focus

I need to focus on finishing this painting, thats about the largest I produce really.  The Sunflower isn't really how I want it to look, but I like the background.

Just a time to let the colour and shape flow rather than forcing it which is what I think I did to get it to this stage

 Xmas sale

Im doing a 25% off sale from Monday 15th for the whole week where you can buy 2 paintings (or drawings) and I'll take 25% off the total price.  It can then be with you, Royal Mail permitting, before xmas

I'm looking forward to wrapping them and sending them to the lucky person who likes original paintings

Have a look tomorrow at my ETSY site

My Etsy Site

My newest paintings are below

 published and on Etsy    

The painting is now finished so Ive put it onto ETSY and let's see how it goes.  I enjoy painting the sea and especially the western coastline

 Current Work

Im currently working on a painting, in acrylic, of the sea and cliffs in Cornwall, from a holiday there 6 years or so ago, and im posting the progress here to show how its evolved.

it should be finished today and then will go on sale

its a part of the UK I really love and plan to go there again soon, to get some more photos for inspiration, but also to just relax.

 Weekend

I had a relaxing day today, spending time at my daughters grave and then with my son, at a lovely place near the river I try to get to as often as I can.

Its a lovely location and so quiet with just birds and the rustle of the wind through the leaves that interrupts you whilst sitting there.

Nice lunch after.

 More abstration

After a day of not feeling well, I finished this piece which is based on another artists work, came MaryAnneShakyHand who created geometric art which I think is lovely

It helps me to focus when my attention span is all over the place, and I love how the flow of colour on the page is enhanced by the individual colours in the geometric shapes.

This one is in pen an dink with the colour from coloured watercolour pencils, but the next one to do is one with acrylic paint as well, just to see the contract
