Out Of the Blue.


18 cm x 10 cm oil on canvas mounted on board. 

One of the 'Still Life With a Twist' series that I've revisited and tidied up a little; I never originally liked the background, I was too interested in the main idea but this one looks a little better. I think it serves to remind me that all areas of the study play their part.

On the Easel.


21 cm x 21 cm oil on canvas paper.

Working from photos, colour swatches and sketches I've revisited some work from the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia. I've made one pass in oils but probably wont add much more when they dry a little. I want to keep that loose feel that says it's just as much about the paint as the subject.
