January 2009

What a cold start to the new year! I visited Harpur Hill near Buxton last weekend. Over night there had been freezing fog and everything above a certain height had been covered with the most beautiful white frost. Took a few pictures on a mobile phone camera, so quite grainy, hope it captures the moment, if not the freezing cold temperature :-) For more pictures click on the one below or click this link




Discovering Colour
Most of my output in the past has used a distinctive pallette limited to a narrow range of colours, much of this is deliberate as the colours match those of moorland and surround areas. I have recently been experimenting with some bold colours as the pictures below illustrate. To be honest I was quite taken aback when I had finished them. They seemed so bright, for me at least! I'd be really interested to hear your views, is too much colour too soon, or do you like this more saturated trend?

Coming Soon

Moorland Painting - Commission/Present

This week I been working on a landscape painting for my sister inlaw. I offered her a painting for her recent birthday and she wanted one that represented the local landscape. She gave me some rock samples from her favourite place, described how she liked the place at dusk when the moon has a halo of light. So I took this and put through the buxton-landscape-filter! Here's the result. I am pleased with the effect. I will be taking around to her tomorrow. Hope she doesn't read this and see it before the unveiling!

New Painting: Moon Moor #4

Moon Moor #4 - one of my entries for this years Derby Open Art Competition

Solo Exhibition Publicity - Derbyshire Life

Gallery-S have a big article in Derbyshire Life Magazine this month. I was interviewed for the feature but the editor ran out of room and so I have been promised some space in month's issue. At least I got the biggest paintings picture in the article, see below. Images kept low-res so if you really want to read the article you will need to buy the magazine!











The picture below is the advertising for exhibition in the same issue of Derbyshire Life and includes the advert for the photographer who's exhibition follows mine at Gallery-S.



Only three weeks to go!
