Oil Painting of Local Landscape

Oil Painting of Local Landscape ‘Along the Lane’ in Oils

For those of you who have been through ALL my landscapes so far, You may think I have repeated this scene. True, but, though the previous post was done in Soft Pastel and mounted it measures only 20″ x 16″, this picture above is in fact much larger. It was done on 100 x 80 cm box canvas and painted in oils. I tried to recreate the scene as closely as possible to the photograph I had taken (Though I did take artistic licence and added some colourful foliage at the bottom of the railings – with the canvas so large the railings seemed to overtake the landscape too much).  By use of the oils I wanted to convey light, shadows, colours and textures but at the same time convey also the tranquillity  It is a scene I have recreated several times in different mediums. As this version was the largest, I managed to get more detail in. I love the colours and reflections on the water. From the cottage gardens in the rear of the picture, right across the fishing lodge in the foreground there seems to be an equal share of colours, bringing the whole picture together!

‘ Hidden Harwood ‘

This would seem to be a rather strange subject to want to paint, a set of steps that seem to lead to nowhere. However, I found the aspect of the light and shadows very appealing. It was a painting which took no more than three hours to complete, as it just seemed to work straight away. The whole image just seems to draw you in, to wonder where it goes? At exhibitions, it certainly got the locals talking about where it was in Harwood. A surprising amount of people did actually know 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

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.

Landscape Oil painting of Sleeping Shadows

Sleeping Shadows

Sleeping Shadows

Whilst we seem to have very few sunny days around the area I live, when we do I spend my time  (Very quickly-I might add-
as it doesn’t stay very long) trying to capture the sun’s light and shadows on my camera. Then subsequently transferring to canvas. In this instance creating an Oil painting of a small church and graveyard on the fringe of Bolton. Walmsley Unitarian Chapel. The shadows struck me as somewhat symbolic as they gently seemed to rest over the earth, as if silently soul searching and encompassing. The moment seemed all so peaceful, that the light should cast shadows just so touching in this place.

Below is the photograph from which I made the Oil painting.
