Thought I would be brave and do a mural straight onto the wall. This happened to be the fireplace, left as a black space for far too long.
And turns out its the perfect little alcove for the Christmas tree 🎄.
Nice.

I really liked the sunset baobab trees painting so did another sunset one. And an extra one to create more stars, thought they looked quite nice together.

Even though I had all my colours out ready, it was a two tone picture that wanted to be created instead. I like it very much.

Another of last weeks creations, I’m quite taken with acrylics again and doing trees and stars. This time trying to do baobab trees. I saw them when I went to The Gambia years ago and have always wanted to try painting them. Not bad for a first attempt, but I hope to get better.

Another experimental piece and one I’m quite pleased with. Just a simple fire in the woods and something I have wanted to be able to paint for a while 😁

Turns out I really do enjoy painting trees, and with the new style I’m doing it requires a black, white and grey painting first before the colour glaze is added after with oil paints.
I have decided to keep a couple of them without colour as they are very pleasing to my eye, it’s thoroughly satisfying being able to create these. Just finding the time is difficult at the moment.
Light, shadows, depth and perspective is something I have always wished I could do with drawing or painting. I finally found a medium I can explore that with. And mixed with another favourite, nature.
There have been a few other experimental pieces which I’ll share over the coming days. Some have worked ok, some not so much, but still have something about them. We’ll see where it goes from here.

These are the ones that have started my new wave of paintings, after doing 3 of these, I wanted to do the green one posted earlier. Problem is, these paintings start as black and white and look rather effective. So I have painted more so I can keep one in black and white, i’ll share those tomorrow

Sunrise through the trees.

Sometimes it’s just nice to get out and have a nice walk.
