Here,s another one

Water colour on Aguarelle paper 24 x 32 cm using Schmincke watercolours. I preference these over Windsor and Newton the colours are more vibrant I think. The Lightning not as easy as I thought it would be leaving it plain white by masking the area didn't have much impact,so I used white Gouash and softened the outlines. Might be back to the drawing board with this one.

Here,s a selection of some recent paintings

This is the Maude Foster Windmill in Boston Lincolnshire at dusk.Its in Acrylic and is 20" x 16'.

Here,s a watercolour of Daisies.I,ve tried to paint it in the style of Janet Whittle a Lincolnshire artist.It,s quite small 5" x 7".
This is a bit of an experiment I,ve tried to capture a cold windy day.Dont know if it works let me know.It,s Acrylic and is 16" x 12".
I took a photograph of this when on holiday in Spain and have painted it several times,but wasnt happy with it, so I took a different tack and made the hulls more vivid and interesting.It,s a watercolour and is 8" x 12".

These are several new paintings recently completed.

 The above are watercolours completed in Spain. ,I'm quite pleased with the Pomegranite,but no so keen on the hat.
 Think this would look good about 6' x 4' on a large white wall so if you,ve got one...........
The two above were painted on my iPad using Procreate and the new Wacom Bluetooth stylus which is the best thing to have happened to the iPad for artists so far.
