Autumn near Lyndon

Oil on Board, 9 x 12 inches

Firstly, I should say a big thank you to you all for reading my Blog over the past year and I hope you're all enjoying your festive break. And if you've only just joined, where have you been?

The painting above I did as a demonstration piece a few weeks ago to the Oundle Art Society.  On the day, I had forgotten to bring my big 1" household brush, but a lady in the audience very kindly loaned me her pastry brush, which I made do with and enabled me to paint in the foliage.  Not having painted anything for over a week, I checked back in the studio today and refined the painting a little with my trusty 1" brush.

Here's the painting on the day, showing how far I got in the allotted two hours using the pastry brush:

  3. Do you realize how homesick you make me for the English countryside with your beautiful paintings! I live in Texas but still remember the beauty of the English countryside where I grew up, You capture it so well in your paintings.
    Thank you for your blogs. It is a real pleasure reading them.
