Hillside (keywords: painting oil landscape england english)

This is the last of the landscapes for now. I'm working on my other blog at the moment but am sure to be back here in the not too distant future.

Lone Tree (keywords:landscape painting trees fields hills england english)

Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

There's something strong and independent about a lone tree. It has resisted the buffets and blows of the weather and man's hand with a chain saw. A true survivor!

Ravine (keywords: hills fields glossop england english landscape painting)

Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

Compared to many ravines this is a tiny one I know but it's a deep cutting in the landscape through which a river runs so, I suppose it's a ravine of sorts. Again in the Glossop area. Dried, autumn grasses in front and the evergreens in the background.

Striated (keywords: hills fields england english landscape)

Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

I haven't been able to find a really good definition for that word "Striated" but I think it means striped or wavy. Just how the earth looks sometimes.

The A624 (II) (keywords: landscape painting england english hills fields motorway glossop)

These two paintings are of the A624 to Chapel en le Frith as seen from the Glossop end. It's a busy road but not too wide and you have wonderful hills and fields on both sides.

The A624 (I)

Wheat field

I think it was a wheat field anyway - a very gentle kind of yellow.

Tree shadows II (keywords: landscape painting england english glossop hills trees fields green blue)

Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

I did a painting based on this scene a couple of years ago, called Tree Shadows. So this is version II. It's such a beautiful scene and I'll never tire, I don't think, of trying to capture it.

The green, green grass

This painting has been selected for the 2010 Society of Women Artists' exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London 1st - 10th July.

i decided to test myself by doing a mini-series of landscapes. I decided on 12 as an appropriate number as I am basically an analogue girl rather than a digital one (12 shillings to the pound - no you won't remember). It wasn't easy - a bit like taking medicine - so I have been completing 2 or 3 each day over the past few days. Today I finished the twelfth but I will put them up in ones and twos. I am putting them up in the order in which I painted them. They tend to get brighter as I go along, LOL. Also I introduced some new colours - alizarin crimson instead of indian red and turquoise which makes nice greens mixed with yellow ochre.

This is around the Charlesworth area near Glossop. Lovely dips in the landscape.

Earth fold

Oil on wood 8" x 7.5"

I have painted this scene before but was up there again yesterday to see this wonderful landscape. Again it was the abstract shapes which pulled me in but I found the more I worked on it the more it was being transformed into a more "literal" expression in my mind so I had to stop. I noticed also how sexy the hills are, very womanly with their folds and curves. Maybe that's why we talk about "Mother earth".

A chilly autumn day

I am fascinated by light coming through the gaps in between these old buildings. Just love their heavy, clunky structures. This photograph is not picking up the colours as well as I would have liked though.
