Changling images

Another painting, another view, another change... just, I guess, as the tides and sands and seas change.

 

Chaging images

 

What started life as this, has become this... any thoughts... not that it can go back; the undo button doesn't apply to oil paint...

Cul More

A study in blue and ochre... painted from a watercolour sketch of many years ago.  Cul More is a beautiful mountain in Sutherland in the North West Highlands of Scotland.  It is often forgotten amidst the celebrities of Suilven and Stac Pollaidh; perhaps in part because of this it is graced with solitude and space. 

 

 

Kingscliff in Autumn

 

A little painting

More sand and sea

 

Selworthy Sands, barely known and only accessable at low tide, and via a roped scramble down the scree; but beautiful and etherial, as such beaches so often are... 

 

Above Kingscliff Woods

Just to prove that I also paint closer to home.  This is the upper end of a regular run of mine; where the woods, once a royal forest managed by Geoffrey Chaucer, give way to the first hills of the Quantocks.  There was a hard frost this morning, but the sun was breaking through the mist; and, for the first time in months, I ran up the hills, as well as down them...

Coquet Island

The second attempt of 2012; not as good as the first painting, I think.

Coquet Island

Coquet Island, from Alnmouth, once again.  The Northumberland coast continues to fascinate and inspire me.

Keeping painting; another blue cross

Back to the hills

After nearly three months off the hills; a torn ligament in my knee, and more than enough work, in school and beyond; I am back running and painting.
The hills are hard work, and Exmoor is freezing!
I hope that this blog will get up and running properly and some pictures will be up here as soon as possible.
