Über Puddles 700mm x 500mm £1550

Über Puddlesmoves this idea forward a little. While there is no reflection in the puddles the blank space they provide gives a greater contrast and over all lifts the brightness of the whole composition.

This painting looks very simple but was in fact one of the more difficult compositions I have done.

The Lake District 350mm x 500mm £850

Looking back to October's newsletter there is a portrait painting of the Lake District. It's no exaggeration to say that the reaction to this painting in London was huge. I exhibited four variations  in  terms of size and palette and they all sold.

This is another variation on the subject as I removed the Silver Birch trees. What is very different here is that the first initial wash is graded light to dark from top to bottom. Not normal Überpainting practice as all washes should be flat. This first wash is yellow, so when a flat wash of blue is applied on top it changes throughout the painting becoming greener towards the bottom as the yellow intensifies and also a new take on clouds.
