On the Easel

As I paint, I would like to highlight recent works and work in oil on the easel. Providing a bloggy insight into the subject matter and place.

Prees Heath...heathland near to home in North Shropshire. I was pleased with the way I captured the circling Kites and the dogwalker ahead of some ominous weather! This was a large image in oils for me ...overall pleased!

In a bordeaux food market....
I cannot resist a plate of Oysters and a good white wine...
This is a portrait of the man who shucked my seafood!

Vietnamese Fish market...
Wonderful vibrant places and great fresh produce!

Delighted to have 'Mersey Ferry' chosen to hang in the 'Salopian open' at Shrewsbury's Gateway gallery.

 Even happier to have won 'Peoples Choice. 'Visitors voted for my work as their favourite.... Chuffed! and so pleased with my framing voucher that will be put to great use... The right frame is always the make or break of any image!

The Loire Valley, France... a beautiful part of the world with great Vistas.. again a big canvas for me, pleased with the cloud formation and fishing boats and distant hot air balloon on an incredibly hot July day!

Again in the Loire, this time a still life of a simple floral arrangement. Pleased with my markmaking here as less is more!
