Currently in artistic development and exploration, so these days I mostly repost other people’s watercolour paintings. However, I will sometimes reluctantly share the odd drawing or painting of my own (Gatineau/Ottawa 🇨🇦)

Well, this is possibly the only watercolour I like from the last fifty I made. Yikes. Well, this is what happens when you get pigheaded about keeping on using a palette that doesn’t really work (except here)

A misty morning last week on Sutton Bank, the western edge of the North York Moors - the view across Garbutt Wood to the limestone cliffs where the jackdaws live with Lake Gormire (Yorkshire’s smallest lake) on the right and the faintest glimpse of Hood Hill in the background. Watercolour.

A very misty morning last week on Sutton Bank, the western edge of the North York Moors - this was the view across Garbutt Wood to the limestone cliffs where the jackdaws live with Lake Gormire (Yorkshire’s smallest lake) on the right and the faintest glimpse of Hood Hill in the background. This area was the site of the Battle of Byland just over 700 years ago, and is rich in myths and legends. The track which is now the Cleveland Way is an ancient drove road, and there are burial mounds and hill forts - now just bumps in the ground - along the way. The walk from the National Park Centre is very atmospheric whatever the weather, and great for wildlife and fungi spotting. Watercolour painting. (If you know the spot, you’ll see I’ve used some artistic licence to move the lake closer to the cliffs 😊)

A minimalist landscape painting in watercolour on thick cotton paper. I was imagining the tree emerging through the mist on a winter's morning.

A winter landscape painting in watercolour on thick cotton paper. The tree looks as if it is emerging out of the mist on a winter's morning. The landscape is sem-abstract in style, painted in muted colours. Shown in a light oak frame.

Civil Dusk on Calle Huerto, Granada. Direct Watercolor. 20"x16", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art

Watercolor painting of Calle Huerto alley in Granada, Spain. A light blue civil dusk sky hangs above two intersecting, blocky apartment buildings; the automatic street light attached midway up the right-side apartment building's oblique wall floods the apartment facades with warm yellow-orange light and falling against a wooden entry, window panes and a garage door on the left behind a car in shadows. The light in the scene reveals that this street may soon be covered in darkness soon - except for the sole street lamp - once the sun is completely behind the horizon.
