Saint Seurin Mill, France, 15" x 11"
2nd painting on our first day, Sunday, and a visit to the nearby Mill on the River Isle (runs into the Dordogne in the end). A nice spot by the river with the old Mill house and weir. Again, very hot and paint drys as soon as you apply it!

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"
My first plein air of Tewkesbury on a recent trip there with my art group, the Bristol Savages. Absolutely lovely day, no wind and bright sunshine. First plein air was an iconic view of the Abbey across the river. Very beautiful spot and very peaceful earlier on in the morning.

Saltash, UK. Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Ooh I went quite blue on this one. A painting based on a photo of mine taken down in Cornwall and a very bright September day - very warm for the time of year. It's great that in just one location there are probably hundreds of painting subjects and compositions to be had, just by turning around. I thought this one made an interesting composition with the curve of boats leading into the scene.

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 seven is a view of Staithes in North Yorkshire, and a larger size 15" x 22" than I normally paint.

So you are in a room with a bunch of fellow artists, and a blank piece of paper in front of you. Then someone gives you a painting topic. You then have two hours to complete your painting without the use of any reference material. And so this is the format of the Wednesday Sketching night at my Painting society, the Bristol Savages. The topic was 'healing'. Wow, quite a challenge to come up with a painting based on that subject. Well, I went down the route of a fast flowing river and healing as regards the environment and flushing away debris down the river.

Plymouth, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Some small boats at low tide on the River Tamar in Devon, UK. Some needed a lick of paint (sorry owners) but a lovely subject to paint none the less.

Llangollen, Wales, 15" x 11"
Llangollen is a small town and community in Denbighshire, north-east Wales, on the River Dee at the edge of the Berwyn mountains and the Clwydian Range. Here's a view looking up river near the town centre and the boulders strewn across the whole width of the river.

Sidmouth, UK, 15" x 11"
The second painting from my recent trip with the Bristol Savages. This is the river Sid which meets the sea just beyond the foot bridge. What attracted me to the scene was the lovely warm cliffs rising up from the pebbly river bank and its reflection in the river. Over on the right hand side, I kept things fairly loose.

Burano, Italy, 15" x 11"
From a recent YouTube demo of mine (video number 34) explaining simplification of a scene (all those buildings in the background), composition, perspective and reflections. And yes the bell tower does actually lean ! Not sure how dangerous it is. Anyway and enjoyable demo. If anyone has any recommendations for a future YouTube video subject, please let me know.
