So what’s new? Well the paint brushes have been working away furiously in the studio, I have had many commissions which need to be ready by Christmas. I did promise myself that I would paint an Autumn scene and this came in the form of this beautiful canal scene, this was a commissioned piece, which I really enjoyed painting. The client asked me to produce this painting from a photograph as it is one of their favourite canal boat journeys; I was able to enhance the scene by introducing beautiful autumn colours in the leaves, which gave wonderful reflections in the water. As this is one of my favourite landscapes I am hoping to have this image available as a small print in the New Year.

This small painting was a demonstration piece I worked on at the NEC in November, The sky was taken from a Norfolk scene I was able to capture a few month ago, with a very loose foreground, (not really knowing how it was going to look like finished) to add interest I included a hot air balloon which I feel adds calm and tranquillity. Although this painting is only 12” by 16” I am very pleased with the final result and again this image is available as a limited edition print.

Paintings in progress
“The Grand Slam” you may have been following the progress of this painting in my earlier newsletters. I have as you can see, added another person talking to the Sergeant. The addition of the brown jerkin here, adds a welcomed spot of colour. Well I am pleased to say it is completed and is on its way to a collector in Australia. This print is also available as a limited edition litho print. The printers are working on this image now and will be available I hope this month.

You can now see a preview of this production on my website under the Greetings cards and Gift section. Whether you are interested in picking up art tips or just an interest in the Battle of Britain aircraft, I am sure you will find it enjoyable to watch.
