Colourful fields on a farm in Devon, UK

Colourful fields on a farm in Devon, UK 

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.

This distinctive and pretty, wooden door was found at the gardens at Pecorama, in the UK. I was caught not only by the pretty archway, but also the way that the afternoon dappled light was playing across the white door and the stone wall, itself full of interesting forms and colours, as it fell through the foliage growing around the archway. The setting may give the impression of being old but is probably only a few years old.

The painting is done in oils, on a canvas board measuring 10” x 12” , on top of a blank red acrylic base.

Old watering can with flowers by stone wall

This painting was done in oils on a canvas board measuring 10” x 12”. It is based on a small photograph taken outside an old farm building, of the watering can sitting on a piece of wood against a stone wall. I have no idea what plant/ flowers are contained in the can. I enjoyed painting the bent and tarnished metal surface of the can, with the hints of rust appearing. The spout is no longer connected to the strengthening base either.

The painting was done quickly in a few hours, painting in oils on a red acrylic base.
