Saint Junien, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Place Deffuas in Saint Junien, France. The church entrance is on the left. A small square in front, shops on the right and a slight slope down the road. Nice opportunity for some high contrast with cars being light against a dark background.

Chania, Crete, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A dull day harbour scene, Chania in Crete. I think the composition works with the balance of the background buildings, the curve of the quayside and the position of the boats. Maybe I could have had the horizon higher to make more of a feature of the reflections....

Fabriano, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A painting based on a reference photo from an IWS visit to Fabriano, I think back in 2014. It's great when the paint takes a long time to dry (I guess when the atmosphere is more humid, it's colder and the paper is already damp) and you get more time to work in some softer brush marks.

Bath, UK, 15" x 11"
A view down St John's Place in Bath. Lovely buildings I think in the Georgian Style, and quite a challenge to get the stonework the correct colour. It's a busy area, being near to the Theatre Royal, so needs a few people wandering about.

Porthleven, Cornwall, 15" x 11"
Another boaty scene and an almost made up composition of Porthleven Harbour, at low tide looking towards sea and the pub on the headland. Two things that make small boats like this more convincing in a painting are - some fenders along the side and paint lines down the top of the hull.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Looking down on 4 small boats, moored along the canal by Scali Monzani, in Livorno, Italy. I liked the symmetry of the scene, the equal-sized middle boats, 2 larger boats on the sides, some abstract shapes of shadows and reflections and then the repetition of the ropes.

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"
My final and 5th plein air of the day at Tewkesbury, just before getting back on the coach for the trip back to Bristol. A view of the Bell Inn/Hotel, opposite the Abbey. Somehow, this ended up being rather dark, going almost against the light.

Tewkesbury, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
4th Plein air of the day and a walk back along the banks of the River Avon towards the Mill. Quite bright sunshine coming towards me and I liked the row of cars leading me into the scene.

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"
The 3rd plein air just before lunch. This is a view down St Mary's Lane and some lovely old houses with the timber fronts. The dog was an afterthought. I painted the figure and it looked like they were being pulled by something. Well, it had to be a dog!
