This painting is just finished so there is a lot of shine. I could not sign it on the front because of the composition so I signed it on the back. Do you think that is acceptable?

Flood gate updated

Flood Gate

Well ... having slept on it I have decided to go with my older sketch. I have coloured it using Photoshop trying to keep the bleached colours of early spring.

Floods are out!

Think I like this version better:

'Dancer playing the accordion'

Dancer playing the accordion 

A pencil drawing developed further in Photoshop. When the Morris dancers are in action it is all about look at "us". This dancer when he plays is concentrating so hard that he is so oblivious, for a few minutes, to the world around him that he becomes out of this world.

Dawn over the Newlands

Dawn over the Newlands

A pencil drawing of a view that few in my village will have seen.  I lived as a child in a large house with good views over the Cherwell valley. I miss this high view here in Eynsham so I have married my past with the present by looking out at a real view through a fictional window. 

Rainbow over the DIY

This is a pencil drawing cleaned up in Photoshop.  It has way to much detail for the small canvases. I am going to try again with a drawing and crop closer.

Burn's Night Colour Study

Burn's Night

I scanned in the pencil drawing and coloured it with in Photoshop. I really seem to have this thing about using both hot and cool colours in one picture. It is very difficult to resolve. Looking at the study I will keep the violet for outside the window but mix it into the colours within resulting in more browns.

The framer is 'out' as you can see by the 'in' sign. This another view of 'Rose Cottage' and a view that will soon be gone.
