Plein air painting 80

During October 2022 two plein air landscape paintings were done on Pepperbox Hill, just outside Salisbury, Wiltshire, this being the first. It was a little chilly when this was done early in the (sunny) morning. The viewer is looking NW in the direction of the city of Salisbury, with the A36 located on the right (off the composition). Pepperbox is the name of a brick built folly, dating from the 1600's, situated nearby.
This was painted in oils on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5"

This oil painting is painted in the 'wet into wet' technique and measures 10” x 12”. It shows the countryside at Wembury, Devon, near to the coast, made up of brightly coloured fields contrasting well against the blue sky during a summers day. In the foreground is a pretty stone wall with gate, separating a local farm from a field.

Dorset Countryside Golden Fields in Summer

Dorset Countryside Golden Fields in Summer

 

This small oil painting was painted in the Autumn of 2013. It shows a view of the Dorset (UK) countryside during a hot, summers day. Golden fields of corn can be seen stretching out in to the distance, working well against the sunny blue sky.

The painting measures 12” x 10” and the oil paint was applied on to a red acrylic base, with the basic elements of the landscape sketched out in brown acrylic paint. It was painted in an afternoon, based on a photograph taken at the time.
