back at the easel for 2025
Winter Woodland…
Striding Edge
always a favourite of mine is the view across striding edge from hellvelyn, in any season this is a stunning vista…
Milbeck Farm and the Langdales
Finally after just over 300 hours work, its finished and on the wall in the Gallery. this has been a monster of a painting to complete, possibly the most complex and challenging one to date. But i am pretty happy with the final result, i don’t usually paint big ones but with a scene like this i felt it really justified the size.
Elterwater on the Easel
This is just a basic block in, there is little relevance to what it will look like when finished but gives a road map to go by for the broad shapes
wildlife paintings
on the board at the moment…
choosing my background
after much deliberation I went with a darker background for my kingfisher, I felt it made the vibrant colours of the bird pop a lot more, much more striking….
St Johns in the Vale Original Oil Painting
St. Johns in the Vale.
a beautiful part of the lake district, i think this snowy painting came out really well, i love the effect of the moon coming through the layer of clouds.
Milbeck in the making…
Milbeck farm getting an autumn coat, this is going to be a big ‘un… I’m only just fitting it on the easel. but enjoying the colours and the challenge. you all know how I love painting bricks lol… wonder how many are in this painting so far…
New Wildlife Originals and Prints…
Buttermere and High Stile Oil Painting
I really liked painting this one, it’s further along the shore than my other Buttermere paintings but its such a peaceful scene, and it just called out for a boat…
what a pair…
ending of the day and winter walk bought as a pair and off to their forever home…
Venice 2023
I’ve really enjoyed painting this scene. Expanding my range of where I paint is going to be exciting…
Buttermere
been awhile since I worked on the buttermere area but its stunning, any weather.
Ben Nevis from Corpach…
Ben Nevis from Corpach, visited on such a changeable day, one minute it was raining the next the sun was creeping through the clouds. Beautiful…
loving Ullswater at the moment…
finally finished but it was a ‘big one’
