The North sea at Mappleton
This painting was done on site from quite high up overlooking the North sea at Mappleton sands ;the day was quite hot and hardly a cloud in view.I tried to capture the movement of the tide rushing in and the vastness looking down from the cliff .This painting was executed in oil and is quite large measuring 30 inch by 23 inch approx. in old measurement The price if wishing to purchase would be £180.
Overlooking the North sea at Mappleton sands.
Over the humber with broken clouds
Early evening sky
Inspired by the beautiful colours over the river and in the sky; working quickly in oil to capture these with the painting being done on board.Over the humber
In this painting I decided to use the Acrylic medium and began by making random marks with different colours. The sun was very strong at times peeping here and there from behind a few clouds. Greenish blue and yellow colours seemed predominant.Turbulent sky
There was quite a strong wind blowing when I did this painting and there was intermittent rain; the sky took on some really interesting colour and there was much varying colour in the river also. Painting with a strong metal easel, it was sometimes lifted by the strong wind which had presented quite a challenge.
Shadows over the Humber
The sky had appeared quite heavy at times and there seemed many different cloud patterns; many long and striking shadows appeared to come and go over the river. I tried to capture this.Pears with temple.
This painting which someone bought was inspired by a visit to a friends garden ; which appeared to have many Georgian like features. Many paintings like this one were part of an exhibition titled ” Georgian seasons”. The light featured very strongly when I was doing these painting and many varying hues were provided by the sun filtering through the trees.
This painting was done having been inspired by the light looking through to Hull Pier; the painting is small approx. 9 by 12 inch.Acrylic was the medium used and the painting is framed.
