Which one is your favourite……..

It’s always lovely to paint this size as it’s more immediate and you can still be yourself especially with some music on. This size is often a mix of abstract and impressionist as I do love getting some texture on to the canvas and get that ‘feeling’ straight away.

I do love the shaft of light and the vivid yellow on the horizon and also the texture and brushstrokes of ochres, oranges and burnt umbers and the gorgeous greens.

I also love the red tones peeping through the blues of the sky hiding behind the clouds and I added some paler lighter blue so it shows the last glimmer of the day hanging on.

The light is descending dragging the last of the heat of the day and then all the shadows and just a little light in the foreground appear.

There’s quite a lot of blending in the sky with all the lovely red and blue tones and off whites to get the right feel and glow.

This is one of my very recent paintings and it has a lot of movement and atmosphere. The sweeping blending of muted peach, red and orange and the stroke of paler blue gives the impression of the day approaching, dissolving into a lighter horizon where pale ochre and soft cream suggest distant fields caught in an early morning haze.

Broad brushstrokes create a textured surface that hints at breeze and movement, while delicate veils of transparent washes lend a sense of atmosphere.

Small touches of burnt sienna and graphite punctuate the composition, anchoring the eye and introducing a subtle difference between land and sky. The overall effect is restrained yet expressive, a contemporary impressionist landscape that balances abstraction with the familiar rhythms of nature.

This luminous contemporary impressionist landscape would bring a serene yet invigorating presence to any room with soft, layered brushstrokes and a sophisticated palette of muted blues, warm creams and subtle ochres which create depth and light that move. A very easy to live with painting.

Here are a few more new paintings that all can be seen on my website under portfolio and new work.
