Castillon, France, 15" x 11"
A real quickie Plein air before lunch on the second day of my French trip. I decided that I was in quite a cool and shady spot, not causing any obstruction to market pedestrians, and so did this one looking down the street from the centre of town. Painted in about 30 minutes.

Bristol Harbourside, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Second painting on a recent plein air trip with my painting group, the Exiles. The sun came out late morning, but the wind was still too strong out in exposed places. So I tucked in behind the Mud Dock Cafe building and just painted what was in front of me - the quayside, tops of boats and some apartments on the other side of the harbour as a backdrop.

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.

Bath, UK, 15" x 11"
A view up/down Grand Parade in Bath, from Pulteney Bridge (the Bridge is to the left of this scene). Most of the time, a busy street corner with mainly visitors to the city, so I had to put quite a few in. With a group of figures, I try to treat them as one shape - so draw the tops of heads and shoulders first, then the shape of multiple bodies and sizes intermingled.

A log fire painted in Watercolour, 15" x 11"
So experiment number 2 - how to paint a log fire. So I didn't paint flames as such, but some smouldering logs that have reached the 'ember' stage if that's the correct term. Not sure what sort of painting this is - still life? Plein air? The paint dried a bit quick in front of it though!!

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.
