                               Another subject that I have painted and drawn on many occasions
                                     and there is always something different about it each time

Unmowed field I

                                                 Smaller than usual, about 7x9" in oils

                                              Done in the same month as the painting below

Unmowed field II

                                              This was a smaller painting about 7x9" in oils

                                  I love the fields in Harrow Lodge when they do not mow them
                              the colour in them needs to be looked for and possibly exaggerated a little.

Sunday morning dog walk

                                         
                                       A lovely time of year to paint so much colour everywhere
                                                              Another 8x10" in oils

Late Autumn shadows

                                                            On site  8X10" in oils
                             
                           I use a very limited colour palette of just three or four colours plus white
                            working from thin paint to thicker paint as the painting progresses

Autumn around the lake

                                                                    8x10" in oils
                               I never spend more than a couple of hours on an on the spot painting

Poplar trees in sunshine

                                                           Pencil drawing 12x10"
                  I had walked past this spot in the park many times and then one day it was
                     transformed by the sunlight. I took a photograph and did this drawing

Poplar bark with fungus

                                                      Studio pencil drawing 10x14"
                                               It took about 15 to 20 hours to complete

Between the trees

                                                       Another quick on site painting
                                                                  8x10" oils

Ash trees in autumn

                                                        On site oil painting 8x10"
                                               I have painted this group of trees many times
