ART from Norfolk
I’m really loving Pastelmat card/paper. Here’s a small painting I did yesterday but forgot to upload! This is also available at my shop:
I used various soft pastels makes for this little painting but I do find that the Sennelier brand is becoming my favourite.
Well, we have at last settled into our new house. My painting space is very limited but I’m managing to scrape a hole big enough for myself and the paints … the large one below [abstract seascape) was painted mostly outdoors, great fun that was in 32 degrees C, trying to keep the acrylics wet!
The others were kinda commissions – Bay scene (Devon) was requested by the lady of our house and is now enconced in our seascape themed downstairs bathroom. Photo is crap, ‘cos there’s not enough room to stand back and get it in the camera frame properly. Never mind. The poppies was requested by a friend of mine, hope she likes it.

Apologies for such a long time in posting any arty updates – been lots of family things to sort out lately, I’m quite exhausted by all of that, so let’s get on with it hey?
I discovered Winsor & Newton Oil Bars quite by accident and only have a small selection at this stage. But boy am I enjoying this new found freedom. I am still doing fiddly small things while I get used to manipulating the oil bars on different surfaces. These are some of the more recent things I did over the weekend.
‘Patchwork landscape with blue’
14.5″ x 10″ or 37cm x 25cm – actual painting size.
Acrylic inks, oil bars and oil paints on acrylic art pad.

‘Poppy field’

I am also working on a largre canvas piece, as well as a larger landscape piece but these aren’t ready to put up here yet.
Hope you enjoy!
A few more soft pastel paintings … I’m now using Rembrandt materials, although some of these were done with the other pastels I already had.
These are each about 11″ x 10″
Surprisingly (for me … well, it always is) … I had a lot of interest in my Poppy painting and potentially it is now sold – pending collection. Woop woop … crack open the bubbly 🙂
