Country walk

Country Walk Oil
12"x 16"

I wanted to do a country scene with a lighter misty feel to it.  I loved experimenting with the leaves and flowers.   I was very happy with the result.

Wight Bridge

Based on a photo I took one frosty morning of our dog Marlowe exploring near Wight Bridge.  It was such a beautiful morning.

Riverside Meadow

These are the fields besides the river between Kidlington and Thrupp.
I loved the way the shadows were being cast.

Experimenting with loose washes of colour and not too much detail in this picture.  Trying to capture the sunlight and the hazy feel that can give.  I quite like the way it turned out so I might try some more experiments like this.

A painting of Bix my Aunts best friends Rottie.  Love painting the animals!  It's so much fun trying to get the tones in to the dark fur on Rotties.  

Oxford Canal

Oxford Canal
30cm x 40cm Oil.



Based on a photo I took whilst walking our dog along the canal path from Kidlington up past Hampton Gay. 
I loved the light that was coming through the trees and wanted to see if I could capture it in oils.

Sandcastles

I've been experimenting with more pastel tones in oil.
Really enjoyed painting this.  I will be doing a few more variations on this theme.

Willowbrook farm

Willowbrook farm Plein air watercolour

Had a lovely day sketching at Willowbrook farm in Hampton Gay yesterday.
I wish the sheep had stayed still a little longer, it's hard painting a moving target.
