Having spent the last week among high elevation creeks I'm especially appreciative of this painting. We saw many a beautiful scene similar to this but I don't know if I'll have the nerve to try to portray it. Very good job.
Peter I want you to go to that mourning dove, have a good long look at it, smile and give yourself a round of applause! Unfussed pure light. (And you can have a round of applause for all the others too as they are all excellent!)
Thanks!! here's a couple more including an evening scene that I painted from last night. I did this in a much looser, painterly style than I normally do and it was a fun departure. I think I am going to do more landscapes in this style.
riotously colourful and all so natural, both of them - superb work once again - you're really going to have to post some rubbish ones once in a while to get the balance right!
Catching up on everything you have posted recently - looks great! The coastal landscape is quite stunning, and the MoDo has a cool contemporary feel to it.
Here ya go Nick - LOL! I just flat out gave up on this one... :-O Maybe I'll revisit it at some point and give it a go again, but it was frustrating from the first brushstroke. The bird in the middle surrounded by pine needle bunches in the 4 corners and spaghetti branches not to mention the colors weren't working at all toghether....
that's not rubbish - just unfinished, you see what's gone wrong with it and you'll manage to pull it together if you revisit it later on. I've spent all weekend painting a whinchat in teasels, two versions, two birds I'm happy with and a horrible scratchy mess of mixed media all around it - tomorrow is sit down with just watercolours, take my time and do something nice - same subject though.
and I think I'll get the background off a photo I took, looking back I was waaaaaaaay off with what I was trying to achieve!
A world class selection of artworks Peter!
I love in particular your "bathing in light" paintings, mourning dove and Oregon coast included.
After a long absence, I managed to get few studies at Munich zoo today morning..
Working as full time illustrator, there isn't any spare time at all.
It is obvious that I need practicing...
