Here we go again . . .

Clementines & Blue Bowl
5"x 7"
Oil on Gessoed Panel

It is so good to be back painting and posting again . . . albeit a little nerve wracking having been sidelined for a while now. A big thank you to Charlotte Ashenden for her encouragement and advice and getting me posting again. I have settled into lovely North Norfolk and set up an unconventional but functional studio. Now I want to loosen up and be more painterly and to widen my subject to include figurative and landscape pieces. These Clementines presented a real challenge to me in so much as they normally have a habit of pulling me into detail in order to render them. On this occasion I think I have managed to avoid that scenario and I am reasonably happy with the ‘loose’ outcome.

    1. Thank you Paul. When I get a chance I will figure out how to put a side bar link on here to your site. Pleased to see the recent paintings from you - loving the flowers! Hope Creative Triggers continues to go from strength to strength.

All Change!

Excited and nervous but here goes my new blog and website! I'm sure that there may be a few teething problems but these will get ironed ...
