Pastel Painter

Sunday, 20 May 2012

Another attempt at acrylics, with the addition of some interactive acrylics which are slower drying and can be reactivated once dry. I haven't used them much here and they are going to take a bit of getting used to! I am fed up with lettering now so I will pick a different subject for my next painting.

Close up Wuthering Heights

Close up middle section

Close up Architecture

Architecture (Wuthering Heights!)

This is the first attempt at a still life using acrylic paints on canvas. 12" x 30" Not sure if the photo does it justice - I may have to learn a new photographic technique as well!

Favourite Things Exhibition is underway!

It's finally here! Booked a year ago, I have just put up all my paintings in the small gallery space at A la Ronde. A la Ronde is a beautiful small National Trust property on the outskirts of Exmouth. I have taken some photos and have also managed to get a small piece in the local press. You can see this at http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/everyday-objets-d-art/story-15723004-detail/story.html

The Wedding Photo

Something a bit different! I wanted to paint the bundle of old letters but they needed something else to go with them. Make up your own story.

Marble

This caught my eye and I may try a larger version - this is only 7" x 5". Up close there's a celestial look to the inside of this marble that's captivating.
