Alexandria, Egypt,Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A sort of scene revisited. I had painted this same scene about 4 years ago. I offered it as a choice for a demo painting at a recent workshop, and it was selected for me to paint. So a bit of deja vu. This certainly was a looser rendition and the taxi was less bright in this one.

Chania, Crete,Watercolour, 15" x 11"
So a limited palette painting on Chania Harbour and I generally in a scene like this, try to have a dark background to some lighter boats in the foreground and so the row of heritage buildings on the quayside were a perfect backdrop for me. A frame on the left with a fairly loose rendition of the side of an apartment block or it might have been a hotel right on the waterfront.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Piazza Garibaldi (I think I have painted many Garibaldi named streets and squares) in Livorno, and I love painting these scenes where we have a dark foreground and a light background. For me, it creates a nice atmosphere of you are in a cool place and you are looking towards light and warmth.

Riomaggiore, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
I could have painted in this place all day. Just down by these boats, and with the changing sunlight directions, many painting subjects become possible. And the view down to the sea has a great help for composition with the opposite sides of the buildings.

Bergerac, France, 15" x 11"
The last plein air of my French trip and a real quickie while waiting for the bus. Maybe I could have gone a bit darker with the background buildings or a bigger range of values? I don't know. Anyway I was happy with the result and a little reminder of the visit.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Place Pelissière, in Bergerac France. A quick plein air while my painting friends were lunching, and I almost wet abstract on this one. A symmetrical view, against the light and some chance to play with shadows and shapes with the cafes and parasols. Sword brush helped define the foliage on the tree.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A second plein air in the town of Bergerac. So many lovely narrow streets to paint. When I painted this one, so lucky to be fairly quiet and not many distractions. It's surprising when you setup your easel and start painting, how few people interrupt you and just leave you alone.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Day 5 and a day trip to Bergerac, the largest town on our itinerary. Lovely old timber clad buildings here with crooked edges and narrow street. Here a scene I have done a few times before. This demo I decided to do landscape orientation.

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.

Villefranche de Lonchat, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A quickie while waiting for the bus to take us home. This the lovely main square in the village of Villefranche de Lonchat. Maybe complete in 25 minutes or so. You get to paint really loose when you have a time limit or deadline.
