It’s still really hot here; the idea of snow capped peaks is very appealing! No doubt the reality is not quite so inviting…

69_365 : wishing for snow
Because it is unbearably hot here. Not that it snows here anyway … but it’s a nice thought.

68_365 : playing with oil pastels
I quite like the feel of oil pastels – they glide on, and can be blended with your fingertips. They give a nice sense of light too.Share this:

67_365 : lighthouse after Brian Ryder
The subject is not really the point here. The main thing was practising the techniques that Brian Ryder teaches in his book and dvd. He put paint on, wipes it off, flings it at the canvas, rubs it round a bit – building up the layers and the textures.All the same, I quite like the final image 🙂

66_365 : Admiring Georgia O’Keeffe
I love O’Keeffe’s work, particularly the way she handled watercolours. There are a few of her paintings I have semi-copied, over and over, trying to gain an understanding of how she achieved the light in her paintings.Today’s painting is one I have done numerous times before today. Not an exact copy, but certainly closely based on her image. Trying to understand, trying to learn…
