Currently in artistic development and exploration, so these days I mostly repost other people’s watercolour paintings. However, I will sometimes reluctantly share the odd drawing or painting of my own

Stay warm x
The north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will the puffin do then, Poor thing?
With his back to the storm
He'll keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing, Poor thing!

Happy Thursday x

Dusk on Loppemstraat, Bruges. Direct Watercolor. 12"x9", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art
Watercolor painting of a side street off Oude Burg in Bruges, Belgium. A dusk sky in cool blue-purple is suspended above a cobbled stoned alley lit by bright yellow street lamps lining the buildings on the right. The light is cast against the facades lining the street and falling lightly on a parked car sitting cozily on the sidewalk. The building in the background has an arched garage below a set of windows.

Sunrise on Calle Cruz de Quirós, Granada. Direct Watercolor. 20"x16", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art
Watercolor painting of a sunrise along Calle Cruz de Quirós in Granada, Spain. A clear, bright sun hits the windowless facades of stacked, cement buildings - below a bright blue sky and above a cobbled, winding street drenched in purple shadows. The sunlight covers the buildings in the center of the scene as crooked angles make up apartment buildings climbing to the right in deep morning shadow.

Well, this is possibly the only watercolour I like from the last fifty I made. Yikes. Well, this is what happens when you get pigheaded about keeping on using a palette that doesn’t really work (except here)

A misty morning last week on Sutton Bank, the western edge of the North York Moors - the view across Garbutt Wood to the limestone cliffs where the jackdaws live with Lake Gormire (Yorkshire’s smallest lake) on the right and the faintest glimpse of Hood Hill in the background. Watercolour.

A very misty morning last week on Sutton Bank, the western edge of the North York Moors - this was the view across Garbutt Wood to the limestone cliffs where the jackdaws live with Lake Gormire (Yorkshire’s smallest lake) on the right and the faintest glimpse of Hood Hill in the background. This area was the site of the Battle of Byland just over 700 years ago, and is rich in myths and legends. The track which is now the Cleveland Way is an ancient drove road, and there are burial mounds and hill forts - now just bumps in the ground - along the way. The walk from the National Park Centre is very atmospheric whatever the weather, and great for wildlife and fungi spotting. Watercolour painting. (If you know the spot, you’ll see I’ve used some artistic licence to move the lake closer to the cliffs 😊)
