Paintings with Colour!

Well ok they all have colour in, but these ones are a bit brighter than normal. I find using colour in this saturated quite scary. I'm reading about NLP at the moment and the use of saturated colour or black and white images is a way of intensifying or reducing a mental image and assocaited emotion. What does that say about me eh? Thats enough of the psychology!

Enjoy.

They are available through minigallery as usual sometime on 5th January

Success - Derbyshire Open Arts

This weekend was Derbyshire Open Arts, where artists all over Derbyshire open their studios and show paintings to the public. I was displaying a selection of landscapes at the Little Gallery in Belper.

Over the weekend we had over 130 visitors and it was a great opportunity to explain techniques, materials and the motivation behind painting. I popped out on a couple of days at lunchtime to visit two very interesting artists.

Emma Simcock-Tooth paints hyper-realistic portraits, her choice of subjects is fascinating and her latest commision involves painting hoodies.

Lewis Noble produces landscapes in very expressive and abstract style and I have been a fan of his work for long time, it was nice to finally meet him in person.

As well as getting some good feedback about my work and chatting with people I also sold three original landscapes and a print, which is nice :-)

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!
