Lake Windermere

It's been awhile since my last post! But that's not to say I haven't been busy painting though.
Back on landscapes at the moment. Here's my most recent watercolour of Lake Windermere. I Couldn't resist including a boat.

Thames Barge

The first of 3 small watercolour sketches on a nautical theme. Others to follow in the next few days.

Sea's Edge - Portland Bill

This is my latest painting of Portland Bill, not far from where the Olympic sailing was held last year. The inspiration was taken from a French marketplace that were selling some similar paintings.

Castle Hedingham

Just done this very local scene of Castle Hedingham, used a combination of watercolour,paints,pencils and artsbars,which have created a nice range of tones. Please check out my gallery for a range of my other paintings.

Tower Bridge

Been thinking about a Tower Bridge picture for sometime. The watercolour sketch below is a rough idea for a more detailed painting that gives the impression of a misty morning on the Thames.

Finished for the Day

Watercolour (10x4.5") I wanted a change from standard blue skies and thought a sunset picture would be nice.

St Michael's Mount (12x9)

Keeping with the Cornish theme, this one's St Michaels Mount. I have had a couple of goes at painting this before, always including the causeway as it makes a great lead in to the picture. It's a popular place to go, but beware the tide comes in quickly covering the causeway!!

Cornish Mine (10x7)

This mine on a cliff near St Agnes creates an atmospheric picture. The gorse and the heather provide a bit of foreground interest.

Cley Mill, Norfolk

Norfolk is one of my favourite places to visit, particularly North Norfolk

Portland Bill Lighthouse

Portland is a fantastic place and I have been there a couple of times now. Plenty of masking fluid is used in the sea on this one!
