An English Garden Gate

This ia a 5 by 7 inch (12.7 X 17.8 cm) acrylic painting on gesso board. The subject was a photo of a gate in a the Slimbridge wetland preserve on the estuary of the River Severn in England. I actually took the photo in the Autumn and but, as I painted, it became Spring all by itself. t's strange how these things happen.

I also came to the conclusion that I'd rather paint with oils than acrylic but, with a few more painting, that might change.

Lower Slaughter

This is an oil painting that I finished today. I took photos after the end of painting sessions in order to show how the painting evolved. This is a view of Lower Slaughter in the Cotswolds, UK. The painting is 18 by 24 inches on canvas.

Lower Slaughter in the Cotswolds

I just finished this pastel this week. I used a photo I had taken while we walking along a path named the Warden's Way. The section we traveled ran from Upper Slaughter, through Lower Slaughter, and then to Burton on the Water. The picture was done on Wallis sanded paper using mostly Pan Pastels with some Nu-Pastels, and touches of Unison and Rembrandt. The size is 12 by 18 inches.

At the end of the first session.

The finished piece.
