Hope to see you this week.  We are open daily, 10 am to 5pm at Swacliffe Village Hall, near Banbury, Oxfordshire OX15 5EQ, until Mon 27 May.

Evening over the Oxford canal

Oil on board

As a young lad I used to come down to this canal with my fishing rod, and high expectations.  I do the same now - with different expectations!

Moored up in Lower Heyford

Enjoyed a couple of hours painting in the garden of this lovely cafe next to the canal.  I always like the chatter with people and was very grateful for the free cuppa from the proprietor.

The end result!

Sunshine on the plot

This is my nearby allotments - the sun was bursting through the glass on the greenhouse but didn't last for long so I had to work really fast and finish off in the studio... A dangerous thing to do!

To the ford and back

As I was painting this, an old guy came past and paddled in the fast-flowing ford before marching up the hill.  I know that he lives about two miles from that spot, so a round trip of about four.  I was impressed.

'Fishing at Somerton'

Spring morning beside this lovely spot. Nattered to the fisherman about what might be caught in the canal now - apparently trout in this section. A bit different to when I was a lad - all you could hope for was gudgeon and shopping trolleys! 

Once I'd finished I sat on the warm grass and enjoyed a picnic lunch...lovely!

Beside the Oxford Canal in Somerton

Had a good day in Somerton yesterday, beside the Oxford Canal.  Met some nice folks fishing there too before setting off to several other places to do more plein air painting.

'At the bottom of the garden'

Oil on board
10 x 8 inches

I can't work for very long without feeling the urge to visit the allotments or interesting local gardens...if there's a shed nearby, then I'm not far away.
