Ronda, Spain, 15" x 11"
From Plaza Espana in Ronda, looking over toward the other side of town over the El Tajo Gorge. Another painting I videoed but no commentary added as yet. So I may post one day. I think this one works with all the connection of the two foreground figures to the middle ground and the background, plus some loose watercolor techniques.

Staithes, N Yorkshire, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Painted during a recent evening at my art society, The Bristol Savages, this is a made-up scene of the footbridge over the Beck in the pretty village of Staithes, well like by artists as a location to paint plein air. I have painted this scene some 4 or 5 years ago and the main house of the other side of the river was a bright turquoise colour. I decided to change that and make the focus the shape of the boat pointing downstream.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
This is the wide canal which encircles the older part of Livorno. There are many boats moored to the waterfront, which I presume belong in the most part to residents right there. So I thought this made for a nice composition. Some key reflections and then the row of boats in sort of a fan shape.

Bristol Waterfront, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Out with my painting friends 'the Exiles' recently and a trip to nearby Bristol and its Waterfront/Harbourside area. A very breezy day - Most of us had our easels blown over at some stage, and on this one, I was painting into the wind and had to lean forwards against my easel to hold it in place. So here is a view towards Prince Street Bridge, the cranes beyond that and some small boats in the foreground.

Ancona, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The bridge over to the cultural centre in Ancona. A big fortress-style building as an island in the harbour. Just a simple scene with a couple of boats and some reflections. White gouache used for some highlights.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
Via Arsenale, from the port to the town. A busy road with lots of port traffic. I ended up with bands of cool and warm - cool sky, warm buildings then cool foreground and shadows. Not sure what was happening in the bottom right corner - I dabbed my fingertip in the still wet paint, ended up with a circle, so I started making abstract shapes in there.

Livorno. Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The New Venice Area of Livorno. The canal here, if that's the correct word, takes a sharp right-angled bend to the left after the bridge. A lovely scene, with small craft lined up along the canal sides and the sun coming in from a perfect angle across the buildings.

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.
