Lee Bridge Bath

This one was just a bit of fun ! A painting of Lee Bridge in the loverly city of Bath using once again Google maps street view. I tried to keep it as loose as i could and painted it as fast as i could, not sure about you but i quite like it. Again painted in acrylics 16x12 canvas board.

                                                                        Update !

I am now back painting on a more regular basis ( yes acrylics ) after much home renovations including house extension & garden work.so more paintings should come on to the blog in the near future.  I am also going to change my website click the my website box at top of page ) to a paid website instead of free and also a web store where you can buy paintings directly from me ( via pay pal ) instead of using artgallery which will also make the paintings just that bit cheaper.

All the best
speak soon

Painted this quite a while back and was my first painting using my new Windsor & Newton box easel. Again painted in acrylics which now seems to be the medium i only use now , in fact i do not have any watercolours anymore and to be honest i don't miss them . This painting was painted from Google maps / street view.

                                                                              Sold


I also would like to thank Mr Kevin Hunt for the purchase of several paintings and kind words on the artgallery.com page, Thank you Kevin.

New Painting for 2015

Happy New Year to you all, bit late but never mind.

First painting of the new year for me and was painted at home using my Pochade box , was really nice to get back painting again even if it was indoors. Yes, this year once it warms up a bit more i will most definitely go out and paint plain air , did one last year and quite enjoyed it though i would rather do it in a quiet spot as last time i was not at home with people seeing me paint , daft really but that is something i will have to combat .

Anyway here is the new painting , 14x10 Canvas board Acrylics

This was the first outcome then after a day i added a bit more but now not sure if i did the right thing as i really wanted to keep things simple in preparation for plain air panting.

This is the end result 

Please take time to comment as it really helps me .

Many Thanks

Colin.

Made some changes to the painting below as there were parts i just was not happy with

It is funny / strange how things happen.
A few days ago i was stuck as to what to paint after i finished painting Newton Creek, looking through books & magazines to get ideas for the next painting my mind was totally blank .
After a day or so this scene just came into my head so i quickly made a pencil sketch on paper just so i could look back when i start.
The next day i started the painting but then i thought this is a bit unusual , everything was going just right all the way through the painting and i had this strange feeling that someone was behind me all the time i was working this .
The strange thing is it is not my usual style !! .
Maybe a artist of the past came to paint just one more time.
Until next time
