'Forever Poppies'

‘Forever Poppies’

I think I went into poppy overload in this imaginary oil painting! I wanted to create a landscape of vivid, vibrancy. With a suggestion of an eternal swathe of flowers meandering gently into the distance, whilst the foreground offers some degree of texture to the flowers and intermingling grasses.

I was really pleased with this pastel drawing not just the perspective but the fantastic shadows and brightness of the day. If only there were more days like that!

‘ 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 a Bridge in The Lake District

This oil painting was done for my nephew and his wife for their Wedding present. It was ‘Their Bridge’ where he proposed to her. I first did them a picture in pen and ink (which is also on this site) but also wanted to try out a recent technique I had been using to paint in oils. Quite simply, I got a cereal box and ripped it into thin strips, squeezed out some oil paints onto a pallet, and painted!  No brushes or pallet knives were used in the making of this picture! And the whole picture which is only approx 14″ x 10″ was done in less than two hours, though it did take almost three months to dry!!!

Capturing once more the sunlight and shadows cast along the main village street – a rare day in Bolton!!! Being the ‘bowl town’ of Lancashire I’m sure one day we will be rained upon enough to fill it to the rim!

Landscape Oil painting – The Last Drop Village, Bolton

As well as the Walmsley Church Oil painting on previous page of landscapes I managed to capture this sunlit and shadow scene the same day on camera. Which I transferred onto canvas in oil paint. Oil paint and pastel are my favourite mediums to work with, as they both give the perfect expression I’m looking to achieve. Here the oil paint captures crisply, with true tones, the clarity of the day and its shadows. Whilst, pastel I feel, lends itself perfectly to the softness of animal portraits. That’s my opinion anyway!

Walkers in Bolton ALWAYS recognise this section of Entwistle Reservoir which I titled – ‘Going Round The Bend’

Of the series of Oil paintings I did of Entwistle Reservoir in Lancashire, this has always been my favourite. When I have had exhibitions in Bolton there are always many people who come up to me and say, “I know exactly where that bend is, I’ve walked it many times!” Who would have thought a simple bend would be so distinctive?! Another reason this is my favourite, is how the light and shadows played out giving the whole picture quite a realistic feel.
