Getting seasonal with a wintery snow scene.

Here I've gone for a larger 12 x 16 board again, to try to get used to that sizing. The theme is winter sun, there is a surprising amount of yellow and red in the trees despite the blue overall cast.

 At this stage it's mostly finished, I'll have another look tomorrow to see what need's to be done, and get it signed.

As always for now, these are for sale through eBay at CrightonFineArts. 

In the New Year I'm hoping to have an exhibition, I will update with information regarding that when I get the dates.

Making a mountain out of a mountain painting.

  This picture was a bit of a struggle. It's been so dark that I had to paint in stages, but it at least gave me time to make some notes about what needed to go into the picture on the next session. I also started on a larger board of 12 x 16 inches, so it seemed like a lot more to cover compared to the usual pieces.

   The initial wash in.

A bit further along. 

End of the first day.

Several days later, I was able to finish it.

 Sky close up.

St Margaret's Bay (again), oil on board.

 Another view of St. Margaret's Bay near Dover. This one was painted pretty quick, I didn't remember to photograph as I went along and so I only have the final painting to show here.


   No coloured under-painting on this one, size 10 x 12 inches.
