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!

These two pencil drawings of Snowshill, in the Cotswolds were done from old photographs taken on family holidays. This is a beautiful, tiny, village in the Cotswolds. It is almost just one street wrapped around a church and graveyard. Below is another pencil sketch of Snowshill Church.

‘Poppies and Pincushions’ – Oil on Board

This Oil painting of Poppies was done from photographs of flowers in my garden. I wanted to capture the light filtering through the delicate petals and show how it changes the deep red of the flowers to different orange hues

Poppies on Parade

This is an Oil painting I did of My Garden Poppies. It would have been so beautiful if they had really all flowered together like this. Sadly however, not so. Instead I amalgamated several weeks worth of My Garden Poppies flowering, using photographs, as they each had their ‘perfect moment’ Once I was happy I had just the images I wanted, I combined them together in a sketch. Almost like arranging soldiers for inspection. Hence I titled the finish painting “Poppies on Parade”!
