Wildflowers and Sunflowers

I'm typing this in the car in a campsite in Dieppe France, and the rain is bucketing down!  I'm on my way back to the UK for an exhibition and fancied saving a bit of money by doing a bit of camping. The dog is miserable and damp and she needs to go out again, lucky me... Oh well one can at least enjoy the sunlight in today's painting.

Old Wooden Door

An old door in a barn in my village. There are quite a few old buildings around here and still used to shelter the beautiful golden brown Limousin cattle which graze in the fields.  The stonework in the barn and around this door is full of interesting shapes and colours, textures and patterns, I could have made a painting without the door!

Kites on the Beach

Recently I went to the Ile de Re on the west coast of France, beautiful weather, warm sun and blue skies, so my usual landscape palette underwent some changes! In this I was drawn to the bright reflections in the wet sand and the sharp flashes of colour in the sky.

Summer in the Woods

Thankfully there are some large woods near me so walking the dog in this hot weather isn't so bad. I like the way the shadows cascade across the lane and draw the two sides of the wood together, I got a bit lost in the detail though - always a bad idea! I worked from a photo and what I liked most was the amount of gently drifting foliage in the trees (it's a wood Duh!) and the highlights upon it. I know I havn't really acheived what I wanted, but a satisfactory outcome anyway I think

Fruit Market

In almost every small town or village at least once a week at the moment there is a market selling all kinds of fresh fruit and veg, the supermarkets haven't taken over completely yet!

The Windrush at Bourton on the Water

A gorgeous little town here in the heart of the Cotswolds, the River Windrush meanders gently through the middle of the village on it's way to join the River Thames.

Beside the River Glane

I recently took my daughter Jess for a picnic at this spot, it's beside the River Glane near St Junien (you tube link) The painter Corot used to come here from Paris for the Summer just to paint and enjoy the countryside, I can understand why.
