'Artists at Play - Mayday'Oxford University Students

‘Artists at Play – Mayday’
Oxford University Students.

This watercolour was done from another colourful photograph my Daughter sent to me whilst she was studying at Worcester College, Oxford. It depicts one of the many activities which take place each year, as students celebrate Mayday in the centre of Oxford.  (See ‘Mayday Festivities’ – Also in Street Art)

‘Edgworth over to St. Anne’s

This landscape, done in soft pastel, was done from a photograph I’d taken on a beautiful Autumn day. The colours were superb and I think I have just about done them justice in this landscape of a local countryside scene!

Tyrolean Stream

I was having one of those days where I didn’t know what I wanted to paint. So, I put my brain in gear with my paintbrush –  I just let my imagination take me to the place you see above. I suppose I created a scene of where I wanted to be. Sometimes letting your imagination loose , shows you what you really want! I created my thoughts and put them on canvas for the world to enjoy too!

With a beautiful autumn scene captured on camera, I decided to take a new approach. Instead of using my favoured mediums of oil paint or pastel, I dug out of the cupboard a set of coloured inks. Wow! I was really happy with the vibrant landscape creation.

Along the lane

Along the lane

Sometimes, we just carry on with our business and miss out on the scene around us, just because it is too familiar to everyday life. On a crisp and bright autumn day, I captured this beautiful scene, whilst going ‘along the lane’ to where my Mum lives. The whole image was just perfect to create this pastel drawing. Intense colours, reflective fishing lodge, ducks gently gliding on the pond and all framed by the almost bare trees.
