I've spent the past 10 days in the studio working up paintings of local scenes.

Ian, these are great! I do like the way you keep your colours crisp, fresh and direct. There is something very uplifting about your work too...the quality of light being a key element. Excellent stuff. Maybe see you at the ROI PV?
ReplyDeleteWaw you have been busy! I agree with David, these are great! My favourites are the cricket one, the hotel, and the shop reflections. Great tonal work and light effect. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you David and Valerie, it's really good to have some feedback. I'm getting a feel for what works in the pursuit of light in a picture, but I have to admit it's not always possible to achieve. More practicing required!
