Little Boat in the Bay

Today started out very wet and dreary but as the day has gone on, it has become much brighter and more like summer.  On my way home from shopping, I passed by a marina and noticed a little row boat sitting in the bay.  The boat I saw was blue and white but I fancied painting my inspiration in a bright orange which seems to be the popular colour here this summer.

Fresh Cut

Fresh cut is a palette knife painting inspired by the beautiful colours of summer.  The flowers are particularly vibrant this year and we find ourselves enjoying a spell of really lovely weather here on the south coast!  I'm going to try and make more time for painting in July and look forward to posting more paintings in the near future.  Paint on!

Caught in the Rain

If you've ever been caught in the rain you'll know much a big umbrella makes it all better.  This painting was done using a palette knife and has loads of juicy paint on it.  I loved doing the reflections and the looseness of this painting...great fun!

Who's There?

More fun with the palette knife!  I really enjoy the effect achieved using a palette knife and love how the colours stay so vibrant.

Three Little Pigs

There's something so cute about little pigs.  These little guys look like they've been enjoying a tumble in the mud and are now looking for a way out of their pen.

Hello there

Another palette knife creation!   This painting was really fun to do but I did run into some challenges with the Prussian blue background as it's hard to keep it contained.  Hoping to do a few more quackers in the near future.

What big eyes you have

This is exactly what my eyes felt like today after a visit to the Opthalmologist!  Fortunately it's not permanent.  :)
