Title or Location: Curbar Village from The Edge
Painted en plein air from Curbar Edge looking down into the valley towards Curbar Village. The autumn colours were inspiring and became a a key feature of the oil painting on canvas. The vertical format was chosen to enable the rocks either side of the view to frame the scene in a creative way with a repeat pattern of V shapes repeated throughout the design. A bag of gritstone was hung from the easel on a butchers hook to anchor the large canvas and prevent it from blowing away like a sail. The

I started off drawing a figure dancing, I wanted it to be an abstract so I changed the curves for more angular shapes but tried to keep some curvy lines in the drawing as well. I used Faber-Castell ink pens, on watercolour paper.

Title or Location: Weathered by Death Valley
I've been having serious problems with artistic motivation recently, because I haven't been to an art class for almost a year, and the people there were my support group and encouragement.Anyhow, I lost my mojo again, but managed to find some down the back of the sofa. I wanted to paint, needed to paint, but didn't know what.A Facebook page where people post references came to the rescue. I scanned through, and an image struck me: a weathered and dilapidated hut in death Valley. The lighting

I decided to paint an ominous cloud structure to give that foreboding feeling, the hurry up before the storm makes it in type of feeling. I think I successfully conveyed that with the tumultuous clouds, the turmoil that?s going on as well as the darkening skies underneath.

Title or Location: In my studio
This horse reminded me of peaceful times so I created it in pastels. Pastels are soft and moody and we have all stood alone at times in this mood. I really like this angle of a horse because it seems like he just finished something and is standing for a bit in the sunshine and wind.
