A male study

A 45 minutes pose of a male model. This was done in acrylic on paper and I was very free and bold with the colours.However I did respect the different tones of the complexion .


Cette peinture est faite a l'acrylic sur papier et bien que les couleurs semblent hardies j'ai respecte les variances de ton de la chaire .

Horror!

I have just re-read my post from yesterday and I see an awful spelling mistake has crept in ! Read " we LIVE " instead of "we leave".
Must watch my steps - that's the problem with ageing...

Water

I am working on the theme of "water" for an exhibition at the end of May.  I did not want to feature anything too obvious like the sea (we leave close to it) or rivers or  reflections on water. I believe there will be quite a lot of those. Being a still life painter I came to the conclusion that this is what I do best and therefore set up this composition. Here is where I am after the first 3 hours of work.

Cette composition est pour un projet d'exposition avec pour theme "l'eau", premier resultat donc une ebauche apres 3 heures de travail

Yesterday landscape -

This was worked from a photogaph taken yesterday on a walk along the coast of the Cotentin. A lovely day and I have tried to capture the light and I feel I have succeeded, so I am pleased with myself !

Cette peinture est faite d'apres une photo d'un paysage le long de la cote du Cotentin, lors d'une promenade hier apres-midi. Belle lumiere que j'ai tente de representer et pense avoir reussi, donc assez contente de moi !
