This is a photograph of a coastal scene from the point of view on top of the hillside. In the photo you can also see a sketchbook that's painted the same scene. The painting is a watercolour that has been done loosely. The majority of the painting is the sky.

Last week was tough for me, so on one of my worse days I dragged myself to the park for another nature study. I practiced once more with my viewfinder to improve on my issues with scale.

I didn’t feel much better after, but gradually my symptoms improved with a few days time.

A hand holds a small sketchbook with a watercolor sketch on the right side featuring the thick trunk and large splitting branches of an old oak tree. The tree itself is in the background.

The right side of the sketchbook has notes about the painted image. September 2025.

Just another ink brush drawing of Los Angeles apartment stairs, I wouldn’t call it an abstract meltdown, more of a loose congealed tree situation

This is a photograph from the top of the hillside looking down into a valley. The Sun is low the sky causing long cast shadows and in the foreground is a drawing of the same scene.

#painting "Roundstone Bog" made a huge impression on me. Perhaps you already know I like our bogs, but the bog in between Roundstone and the Twelve Bens is a wonderland of water and bog vegetation, littered with stories and legends. I'll be painting it again. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm #BlueTue

Square format in acrylics on mdf panel. A horizon divides the painting into a top and bottom half. The bottom has painterly low alizarin crimson bog vegetation and very pale blue bodies of water in pools that cover an even greater area with some of the pools being separated from other ones by mere slivers of alizarin or ochre. Along the horizon are some strips of land of yellow ochre and maroon with hilly peaks, and along the horizon behind them jutting up is a distant rocky ridge of pale blue almost lilac mountains with warm tones seeping through like rocky slopes, and their jagged tops having their high points of two triangular peaks. Sky is a painterly pale blue with a hint of teal. Painting was scanned before I signed it.

#sensoryart #shadows
A painting I did a while back.
Acrylic on canvas board 30 by 30cm.

This painting by Jack Greenwood shows a pavement in London with shadows cast across it from metal railings by the road on the left.
Markings on the pavement show a cycle lane and a pedestrian walkway.

Yes, space to move on and for the work to settle, "hind sight can be a beautiful thing" as they say.

Mark Vasey @markmakingmarks.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks Amanda :) I like it too now.

Just came across this painting from summer last year. Wasn't keen on it at the time but looking through some bits it stood out to me today.
