Fly By Night

Fly By Night
Acrylic On Canvas Paper
15.9 x 11"

Something a little otherworldly today. I thought I would challenge myself to use someone else's reference, plus its good practice to work from alternative sources. I had trouble photographing this one but I'm the mercy of the elements. The green and the yellow are a little off in the photograph as well but its the best I can do. That's one of the disadvantages of working traditionally and transferring it to the computer.

     Many Thanks to for use of her photograph. Its nice to come across a stock photographer that doesn't want half the value of your house for permission to use there photos.

The Roman Monument

The Roman Monument
Acrylic On Canvas
20 x 16"

     A painting of the seven bridges valley walk at Studley Royal Garden. The building at the top of the hill is the Roman monument. I want to paint more landscapes but I struggle with green and creating variety in scenes where its dominant. This is a common problem it seems and I want to be able to overcome it and create some really interesting landscapes. So this was more of a personal challenge than anything else.
