Lightning

Abstract oil on linnen, 40x50 cm., 16x20"
I finished this a month ago, but couldn't get a good picture of it. It's still not right but the best I could do. the painting was hanging on the wall to dry, and someone was mad about it. Today I got a call from her..........., So it's sold!!

English landscape

Finally some watercolour painting again...........
I had the background done ages ago, and when I went through the unfinished paintings, I thought this could  be an English landscape with the mountains. For the foreground I used a photo of my friend Stephie to finish it.
A quarter sheet Arches.

The Major


My dog...The Major... a Jack Russell terrier is 14 years old now, and this is the second time I painted her.
Once in watercolour and now in................... watermixable oil paint.

Stephie and I saw a demonstration at the David Shepherd Wildlife Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London,
Mandy Shepherd and Emily Lamb were demonstrating there.

I ordered the watermixable oilpaint because I liked it so much and it does work fine.
No terpetine, no smell. Fantastic!! The brand I could order here is Cobra.

Oil on linnen, 12x16", 30x40 cm.
