Storr ( Isle of Skye )
Taken one holiday, sketched and re-visited 3 years later.
Beadnell Beach
I took these 3 photos on a fine but cool day on Beadnell Beach.
Decided that they may make a good triptych
From Strandshag Bay
Strandshag Bay lies near the head of Derwent Water.
I enjoy the moodiness of the winter scenes up there and this shot was taken back in February 2015.
I have a long thin canvas that has been waiting for a picture .....
Sunflower
I started this as an exercise with my new pastel pencils.
I'd found some instructions on the internet but decided I'd use my own reference photo.
Harbour Dusk
I encountered this stunning image whilst on holiday on the Moray Firth. A wonderful place for sunsets and dusk.
Red Sunset
In the mood for dramatic skies did this one in pastel.
Stones
After completing my hares painting - I decided to transfer the idea to some stones
along with a few more cats and then there was a christening gift to make.
This is becoming an ongoing project.
Three Hares One Moon
One from the imagination.
CATching Comets
4 small artworks for 20x20cm / 8x8 inches exhibition
Poppies
November - and my thoughts turned to Poppies ( and my Dad who fought in the 2nd world war )
CATching the Harbour Light
I like the quirkiness of this small lighthouse on the harbours edge.
With a few cats added created even more quirkiness.
Red Admiral
Loved the colours, light and vibrancy of a photo I took a couple of years ago
CATching the Shoreline
A few tweaks and this became another in the CATching series.
( With a title tweak at the end to a revised title of CATching the Shore Lights )
Catching the Lamp Lights
A little imagination from a lamp lit lane has become a new addition to the CATching series
CATching the Twisty Tree
Had already used the tree as a model several times, with less colour and the addition of a few cats
- another for the CATching series.
CATching the Gap in the Wall
From a quite moody photo, a painting added to the CATching series
