‘ “SCENE” From a Bench Series’ -‘Tuscan Ruin’

In this Oil Pastel drawing I wanted the viewer to be aware there was a backdrop to the picture but for the main focus to be within the ruin and of how the light entered it and cast shadows, light and shade. The image should project, hopefully, a sense of a hot summer’s day, even becoming hotter into the middle distance until a haze is cast over the far flung mountains. Pure imagination!

This series of pictures have all been done using Oil Pastels and in each one I have placed a Bench. Always the same bench but sometimes I’ve flipped it around to suit the angle of the scene. All the pictures in this series are from my imagination and are drawn to give maximum illusion to the perspective of the landscape around and create as much depth as possible in the small images. Hence the series title, ‘ “SCENE” From A Bench’ !

‘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

Colourful Mountain Stream – Pen and Inks

This simple pen and ink illustration really came to life when I added the coloured inks. The colours I used gave it an Autumnal feel which is vividly contrasted by the blues of the stream. I think the best thing about this picture is the depth within the water given by adding varied amounts of the blue to create shadows from the little islands.

Below is The same sketch but left as a black and white illustration to show the effect the colour has upon the scene!

Abstractly coloured

This painting of a Local Scene is of a different angle to another post I have made in Landscapes, an oil painting called ‘Hidden Harwood’. The steps and tree in the centre of the picture are indeed the same. This is the only painting I have ever used acrylics for! Whilst the overall picture is okay, it is not the mediums I would have chosen. The church hall sat on the hill is where I meet with other artists. Their idea was for us all to paint the same scene as vividly as possible – in acrylics, which is what the majority there work in. It has got to be the fastest painting I have ever done, from initial sketch to completion in twenty minutes. Basically painted faster than the paint could dry!!!

‘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.

‘On the Canal – In Colour’

For those who have already seen the first post of this scene in ‘Pen and Inks’ just in black and white, I thought it might be nice to show you another version of the same coloured with inks. Not a medium I have worked much  with over the years, though every now and then I have another practice as above. I must admit I am always really excited by their vibrancy, (thinking about it, I really should have another practice – A girl can always do with a little excitement!)

One of a series of abstract paintings – using up colours I normally only use sparingly or not at all!

Somehow, or just because, I decided one day to use up the colour pallet I rarely deal with when doing landscapes or portraits. Liking better to utilise than leave to waste, I thought the best way to make the colours useful being in the form of abstract art. To which point I became more and more fascinated with the series as they emerged onto the canvas in front of me. The irony of this is that as I got into the moment I ran out of the colours I was using and had to go buy more!
