Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Via Arsenale which connects Livorno City with the Port area. I nice row of boats of moored up against the side of the bridge attracted me to the scene, as well as the reflections of the distant building.

It's coming! The Annual Exhibition at the Bristol Savages. Loads of paintings from local artists around my local city of Bristol and who are members of the art group. The exhibition is on 26th April to 11th May, and entry is free. The exhibition is at the Red Lodge, Park Row, Bristol, BS1 5LJ and entry is free.
So my entry number one is a few boats in the New Venice area of Livorno. Lovely part of this vibrant city in Italy.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
A view up to the port area of Livorno in Italy. I went quite loose on this one as regards the shapes of the boats in the marina, the shadows, and details like windows. To be honest, I find it a very relaxing way of painting and great fun, rather than going for ultra detail.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The busy port town/city of Livorno in Italy, and a bridge over one of the wide canals circling the older area. Here I have gone landscape orientation to capture the bridge, the arch and the reflection of the tall building on the other side of the canal. I also went with a strong blue for the sky, to contrast with the warmth of the building. Careful not to do too much detail on the boats in the foreground!

Verrucola, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Monday, and a visit slightly up in the mountains to the village of Verrucola. Here, we all positioned ourselves on or around the bridge leading into the village with lots of different painting options - the front of the village as I did, up the valley or a view of the mountains in the background. Lunchtime and a delicious hearty stew washed down with some local red wine. Ready for some loose painting in the afternoon.

St Foy la Grande, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Just a simple scene of some steps (leading down to the River Dordogne) in the town of St Foy la Grande, just alongside a major bridge there. And a simple backdrop of a building catching some bright sunlight from the left. Painted with my trusty 3-colour palette.

Bergerac, France, 15" x 11"
The quayside at Bergerac on the River Dordogne in SW France. There's a lovely boat trip from the quay here which takes you up or down the river. Moored up here is an old gabare, a traditional old trading boat in the area. Quite a simple composition and perhaps I could have included a small boat bottom right, just to balance things out overall.

LLangollen, Wales, 15" x 11"
I thought this was a nice subject to paint. I love the angles in the bridge, and going contra jour, the silhouettes of the pointed turrets on the roof of the hotel. Also the warm against the cool - the cool blue/white of the hotel against the warm coloured stone of the old bridge. Nice location for many plein air there - sadly I don't live close.
