A quiet street

Acrylic on hardboard approx 9" x 9"

This is a re-work of a painting I did in November 2007, so it's got a more autumn feel than a summer one. I loved the way the sun had got between the buildings and lit up that left hand wall with a bright L shape.

I won't be posting for a couple of weeks as I am going away. See you in August some time. In the meantime check out "Tuesday" the posting of 18th December 08 - that is also a recent rework. I like it much better now.

End of an era

Acrylic on hardboard 8" x 8"

This is a re-work of a painting I did about a year ago. The mill buildings to which this chimney is attached were I think due for demolition but as far as I know they are still there. For anyone local they are in Carrbrook but I can't remember the name of the mill at the moment. Hope they save it!

Same theme - I don't get tired of these fields. They fascinate me.

Fields off Woodhead road

The fields fit together as tightly as jigsaw pieces. I love the layers they create as you look towards the horizen.

Fields of gold

Don't know what crop was growing in those fields but they kind of shone out despite the greyish sky.

Canals of the Pennines

I have been invited by Littleborough Art Gallery to submit some canal paintings to a special exhibition called "Canals of the Pennines" (on throughout July and August). I am very pleased about this as I will be joining some well known local names who are also exhibiting. Thank you Suzi !
The paintings I'll be showing are: Urban development; Lock gates; The canal in fog; Canalside; Workshop and Canal Lock.
