Full Length (Watership Down) - SOLD

Watership Down is rather long, and that is what I tried to demonstrate in this painting, made in the studio (mainly on Sunday, but I kept spotting problems and spent an hour or so sorting them out on Monday and on Tuesday10.

The local TV and radio mast (Hannington mast, on Cottington's Hill) can just be seen to the left of Watership Down, while to the right, Ladle Hill can be seen.

The painting was based on a series of photographs with an extra bit of borrowing from Watership Down and Ladle Hill and some imaginary grasses and flowers in the foreground.

And... here's an animated gif of the in-progress shots:

Poppy Pillar

This was painted yesterday, during the time that my studio was open (I painted the sides of the box canvas in flat, black acrylic, and made a design sketch on the canvas itself, on Saturday). I photographed it this morning because the light was so much better.

I decided to try a vertical format, and selected a few poppy heads, from my source photographs, that I thought would work. I quite like the central poppy stalk' curve - apat from where it goes (too neatly) around the lowest flower head. Hmm. I may yet change that...

On the Rocks

Are the waves wilder because of the rocks? Loosely based on a photograph take in Portreath, Corwall.
