I’ve been looking through my photos and found a few I took that I’ve forgotten about… as the weather has been awful today and there’s been lots of water, here’s a waterfall.
I’ve added a bit of warmth.
Rainy day…
I’ve been working on the background for my new painting for a few days so decided to get outside and take some photos for a change.
It didn’t bother me that it was raining, so I just looked for interesting patterns and elements, I found a really nice spiders web covered in tiny droplets so grabbed the kitchen steps and took some photos of that.

Invasion!!
The tree in the garden has been invaded by these ‘little’ creatures, they are about two inches long and there are lots of them!. They are caterpillars from the Buff-tip moth (took a lot of google image searching to find that out), and produce moths that have a wing span of 55-68mm.
Painting Broadpool at twilight
Here’s my latest painting, its very much a work in progress. Its much bigger than the other canvases so has taken alot more work to get right. The location is Broad Pool, Gower Peninsula, South Wales – which is one of my favourite locations, Its based on a photo of mine which was taken at dawn, with the colours just starting to appear in the sky, reflection and low lying mist.
Painting Snowdon
This weekend I have been painting Snowdon, based on a photograph of mine taken at Llannau Mymbyr, Capel Curig, North Wales.
It was the hardest painting so far as the amount of detailed objects in it.
Really enjoying my rekindled love of painting.
Hmm, what’s next?!…
Don’t worry I haven’t given up photography, while the skies are a plain blue canvas and the shadows minimal I am painting.
Painting Rhossili
I enjoyed painting so much I did another one. I wanted to create the feeling of a hazy summers day, the summer bit came quite natural as the weather in Wales right now is beautiful, but I was missing the haziness, so I decided to watch jaws – not for the shark bit, but for the style, the sounds and the way they made me feel when painting the canvas.
I really like the effect, painting is really helping me to relax.
And the photo it’s based on:
Painting Limeslade
Recently I’ve had a real urge to get back into painting, it’s been so long since I really painted, so I decided to give it a go.
I really enjoyed it, it’s as if I never stopped. I’m very lucky as I have lots of landscapes to paint 🙂
And here’s the photo it’s based on:
It’s not as dark and moody as the original and I’ve added more movement to the water. With art I am able to omit items I don’t want and add items if I want 🙂
