Lake District Bridge
Original Oil painting on 14” x 11” canvas panel.
Revisiting a scene I have done before, but this time instead of pen and ink, as I used to create the Wedding present for our Nephew and his wife, see below,

I thought I’d continue with my oils and see how it turned out – somewhat simplified from the first drawing, I do like the end result, especially just having used black and white 🙂

A little black and white oil painting!

”Merlin’s magic musings”
– An Original Oil Painting on 14” x 11” canvas panel – Painted from a photograph of my garden statue!
Somehow, within this week, I managed to clean just about every inch of our house and wash anything which wasn’t too big to fit in the washer…in readiness for our family get together planned for tomorrow….as well as…starting and finishing this little oil painting ( I think I did sleep at some point ..??!) 😉 But, feel completely satisfied that both house and picture both got finished in time!!! 😀
Merlin can now sit along with the other drying oil canvasses on my window ledge before finding him a slot too in my Etsy shop 🙂

Original Oil painting on 14”x 11” canvas panel.
Always open to a bit of variety in my creative moments…today I chose to take a couple of my uniquely crafted creations and place them in an imaginary scene!!! …Well, Why Not???!! LOL
My third little oil painting for the week – you can’t say I stick to one style I suppose 😉

Is this one of those times when I should start considering my sanity??? LOL 😀 Though, I must admit…I wish I was there!

‘Dapple Shaded Poppies’
It would seem my oil paints and brushes have finally had their dust blown off of them :-)! Two days ago, after clearing and cleaning, like a possessed mad woman, my fabric workspace was eventually reverted back into a painting studio. Rummaging around, I found a dozen oil canvas panels, earmarked for a project a while back, so, I thought instead of that, I would get my rusty painting arm going again on the little 14 x 11 inch boards.
Nature and my garden provided just the right inspiration…nestled right at the foot of our Holly tree! With a little help from the sun through the leaves, in the dappled shade, I captured the pretty scene on camera, four wild orange Poppies in amongst the holly leaves. 
Now I have to think what can go on the other eleven canvases ??? 😉

My garden poppies made the perfect reason, to get back to oil painting! I had a little request from Mrs. P’s grandson over at craftodessey to show my picture of orange poppies – as he has only ever seen the beautiful red ones – so here they are finished! A couple of weeks should see the oils dry out too, and then, I think it may be destined for My Etsy shop 😉 Better get back out into the garden and see what other treasures I can capture !

‘Poppy Perfection’

In this painting the main thing I wanted to convey to the canvas was the transparency of the the petal with the sunlight shining through in the early morning. The reason I titled it ‘Poppy perfection’ was that I caught this flower on photograph at the pinnacle of its existence. It really was a good year in my garden for poppies (See also my other paintings of poppies especially Oil Painting – Still Life – ‘Poppies on Parade’ which was a collection of flowers from my garden) But I still think this was the most perfect and beautiful poppy I think I have ever see. As if to highlight that fact I painted the background quite abstractly to show the comparison. Whilst the background flowers in my opinion needed to be there for the composition of the still life I didn’t want their distraction from the main focus of the Poppy!

‘Man and the Moon’

This is another ‘Red Abstract painted in oils part of my experimental range using up colours which never seem to get used up or run out. The irony of this series of paintings is that I did use them all and ran out so had to buy more! See others in this series posted also in Abstract

‘Down A Country Lane’ – (Oil on Canvas 100 cm x 80 cm)

This is a Local Countryside Scene painted in oils on box canvas using brushes  I have also painted this same country track, from the bottom looking up, titled ‘Landscape – ‘Up A Country Lane’ – Oil Landscape also to be seen in this landscape section. Though the two methods of painting were very different, in the other painting I used pieces of cardboard and string to paint with  – NO BRUSHES! They both have a totally different feel to them even though it is the same track.

‘Up A Country lane’ (Oil on Canvas 100 cm x 80 cm)

This  Oil Painting of a Local Scene – ‘Up A Country Lane’ was done to try and capture the intensity of the sunlight flooding the quiet lane. It is a little farmers track leading to open countryside. Painting this picture I used only pieces of cardboard and string –No brushes or pallet knives allowed! It is the same technique I used to paint the picture for my Nephew’s wedding (Landscape Oil painting of a Bridge in The Lake District – Also in Landscapes). Look out also for ‘Landscape – ‘Down A Country Lane’ – Oil Landscape also painted in oils on a 100 cm x 80 cm canvas though this time using brushes!

I Titled this painting – ” ‘EAR’, Where’s He gone?”

This little painting is the result of playing around one day with Old Master’s Works. I had the idea of ‘gelling’ together two different paintings by two different artists. Of course I can’t take any credit for their artworks in the first place, though I must admit to being very pleased with the idea I had. (It turned out to be a mini series of four so far) Though perspectively challenged I do like the fact that they have seamlessly gelled into one picture. To add to the quirkiness to Whistler’s Mother and Van Gogh’s Chair I think the title I gave it just adds a little fun!
