Plein Air Painting Day at Cromford, Derbyshire

I went out painting en plein air at Cromford, Derbyshire yesterday.  It was quite a challenge as it is not something I normally do.  I really enjoyed it though and plan to go out more often to paint in the landscape, especially now the weather is improving.  Here are the paintings - both of the same scene with different coloured grounds.

Exhibition News

So sorry I haven't written a post for ages - I will try and post more regularly and I am thinking of creating and posting a painting a day for the next month.  I don't know how realistic this will be but I can give it a try.  In the meantime, here are a few pictures from my exhibition at The Erewash Museum, Ilkeston, Derbyshire which runs from 7-28 May 2015.

Altering Paintings

Sometimes you can think that a painting is finished and then the next time you see it you just have to adjust it.  This was one of those paintings.  It was the subject of a recent post (see below) and has now morphed into this painting after many more layers and glazes of paint.

Latest Painting

This painting has been hanging around for ages as it needed something but I just couldn't decide what to do to it.  Anyway, it called to me yesterday from behind some other paintings and here is the result after yesterday's painting session.  I think it could be finally finished.  I'm a little stuck for a title though so if you have any ideas ....

Abstract Landscape Paintings

I have been working on a few more abstract landscape paintings over the last couple of weeks.  I think my palette is changing and becoming more pastel in nature.  I rather like mixing and using these lighter colours.  Here is one that I have been working on.
