'Orange Star' (60cm x 80cm)

Hello,
This one is very new, I was a bit worried about it to start with as I couldn't get hold of the regulat white I normally use, different whites behave in different ways. It seems to have turned out ok though but i think it will take a little getting used to, it always takes a while to settle in to a new material when I'd been using something different for so long.

Hello!
It's been a little longer than normal since my last post I've been organising all of my paintings and images as they were in a right old mess and I couldn't find anything! The two images above are new paintings which I'm really happy with. They are both based on walks I've been on recently. When out walking I like to take photographs of interesting shapes, textures and colours and use these to inform my work. These two are a slightly different process as I haven't used any water or varnish which leaves a smoother finish. Let me know what you think!

And here are the other two paintings in the 'Stripe' series (below). You can still see 'Stripe I' at Sunnyhurst Visitor Centre with the Lodge Artists Society this weekend. It's lovely weather and would be a really nice walk too!
