On the Easel

This is one of the larger paintings I am working on. It's not often I take photos of work in progress, simply because I get engrossed in painting and  forget!! The  image  isn't  that great because of the light in my studio. I am working on the geese at the moment..... lots of value and temperature changes before it's anywhere near finished! I have another three beside the easel blocked in ready to go when this is done. I followed these geese around for about an hour trying to get a decent photo so I have to make this a good one!!!

Another one of the Estuary! My favourite time of the day is early morning, especially in this area...lovely mellow light, soft cloud... so peaceful. The grasses change colour from day to day depending on the sky...the value changes in the grass are quite subtle. I am still working on colour values, easy in black and white but not so in colour!

Apple

We painted apples yesterday in my workshop, so this was a perfect challenge to paint another one today...this one was about paying attention to values, easy in black and white but more difficult in color. I have been concentrating on values and edges lately, trying to loosen up a little. Not easy for me!
