Lots of new work

Just been keeping myself going outside and painting, trying to get colours and composition right.
Have been going to places within walking distance of home and have found a few favourite spots that I will keep going back to. Everthing changes so quickly but I hope to capture the same scenes through the seasons. I also love the fact that some of the more close up views such as the rivers could anywhere in the UK.
Really get to know a place and a feel for it. This is work selected from the last three weeks of work tried to pick the best. There is about forty pieces here
Other scenes are from around Derbyshire, still learning still growing x

August/September

Still summer

I have been painting outside a lot this summer. I am not sure if people like it or if they do how it compares with earlier landscapes as its a different application of paint. I have dabbled with this approach before but with a few tweaks I have managed to make it work better for me. I am liking the results as there is more colour than ever before in the work. At times I can see flashes of Constable in the work and I greatly admire his oil sketches. I do hope people will like it but have to follow my heart and pursue this road just nervous about doing large work hoping to build up to that... argh scared. Feel free to leave any coments x
