Just finished this painting 'Boats for hire' on Ullswater, in the English Lake District. Ullswater is the second largest lake at 7.5 miles long. on average 3/4 mile wide and with a maximum depth of 205 feet at Howtown. It has three distinct bends giving it a dog's leg appearance. Many regard Ullswater as the most beautiful of the English lakes. We stayed in Pooley bridge a village at the northern extremity of the lake, this is where I found this image to paint, lovely early evening light falls on these boats as they are tied up for the night.

Just finished these two small paintings, 'Leaving port' and 'Boy, fishing in the sea'.

A beautiful sunny morning, the light and the color of the sea were incredible. A very strong breeze was blowing, which I hope I've conveyed by the way his jeans and jacket are billowing and the movement in the sea. I think he's trying to light his cigar!

I've just finished this little painting, people walking downhill to the lakeside, this is Malcesine, a little village on the shores of Lake Garda

Some more tonal studies for future paintings, not sure what painting to do next?

Two tonal studies of paintings that I'm planning to do, both are cafe scenes from our recent trip to Tenerife. The couple talking is going to be a full sheet painting and the woman profile is going to be a half sheet. Not sure when I will be doing these, hopefully in the next few weeks.

Finally finished this painting, a night scene is something I don't normally do, I can't wait to get back in the sunshine!
