This was the last painting of the day, hurriedly drawn and the basics sketched in with oil and finished in the studio. I was somewhat hampered by leaving my specs in the car after trekking up to the venue, so the first painting, 'Rock Formations and Millstones, Burbage South' was a double challenge in the ferocious wind and being semi-blind! This second effort was a little easier having tucked myself out of the worst of the wind and trekked back to the car to get my glasses!

scenic route from golf last Friday, my eye was caught by the gorgeous
blue/mauve of the distant trees on the road from Lyndon. I was starving,
so raced home, grabbed a quick sandwich, then shot back with my kit,
parked up and walked back to get the optimum view and quickly got
started using a slightly more letterbox-shaped board. It was difficult
to get a good composition, because the downhill road was going straight
out of the picture plane, so I positioned myself looking through a gap
in the avenue of trees. Purely by accident, my car was in the perfect
position to stop the eye and poke it back into the picture.</span></span></span></p>Peter Barkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-68263588972844638052020-08-26T19:06:00.002+01:002020-08-26T19:06:40.343+01:00'Bea'<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1LuSt-z88pvK2rDzW5SZY6HVWbQg39Y-y9_paZoqb4VSVtI_HdcCapNTqVKQryzsNPeETujL5TcGix6IsoAPrOx6I6Cyz5tQebw6fHWW_jyjRpD7LOgcsRTHZtHViG7CGlOQT_VLUPzLy/s2048/DSC_0002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1775" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1LuSt-z88pvK2rDzW5SZY6HVWbQg39Y-y9_paZoqb4VSVtI_HdcCapNTqVKQryzsNPeETujL5TcGix6IsoAPrOx6I6Cyz5tQebw6fHWW_jyjRpD7LOgcsRTHZtHViG7CGlOQT_VLUPzLy/s640/DSC_0002.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b c1et5uql a8c37x1j muag1w35 ew0dbk1b jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto"> Pastel </span><span class="oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b c1et5uql a8c37x1j muag1w35 ew0dbk1b jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto">11.5 x 10 inches </span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b c1et5uql a8c37x1j muag1w35 ew0dbk1b jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto"></span></span></span></p><p><span class="oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b c1et5uql a8c37x1j muag1w35 ew0dbk1b jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">A recent commissioned portrait.</span></span> </span></p>Peter Barkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-79297718026827412102020-08-26T19:00:00.004+01:002020-08-26T19:00:41.417+01:00The Winding Welland<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZYxlh55GH28dXdt93msEZ_5rU25RheftBQXwbPRPkdnRpmTZCF_C4tikxD6HUTXCetKqhiCyjt5vC-758JyHvPPWCfheFIHhRManxxFZwQh3r8XGfWoW9D52Q1yz-BrEAN-Lpzbqr5eY/s2048/The+Winding+Welland%252C+13x19+pastel+by+Peter+Barker.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1421" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZYxlh55GH28dXdt93msEZ_5rU25RheftBQXwbPRPkdnRpmTZCF_C4tikxD6HUTXCetKqhiCyjt5vC-758JyHvPPWCfheFIHhRManxxFZwQh3r8XGfWoW9D52Q1yz-BrEAN-Lpzbqr5eY/s640/The+Winding+Welland%252C+13x19+pastel+by+Peter+Barker.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> P<span class="oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b c1et5uql a8c37x1j muag1w35 ew0dbk1b jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto">astel 13 x 19 inches. </span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b c1et5uql a8c37x1j muag1w35 ew0dbk1b jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto">This started life as a demo
