À LA PLAGE - (AT THE BEACH)





Click here to bid.


#173
The title is in French because I painted this from a photo I took at 'La Grande Plage', Biarritz, France. I won't lie to you...... the wet sand and the high tonal key was quite a challenge ! The darkest dark was just that small shadow under the left foot.

SARDINES




SOLD

#172
The background is red but here it looks quite orange. Funny how some colours can be so different when photographed! I thought the smell of sardines might have taken over my studio but with the window wide open enough air seemed to disperse the odour. :-)

ACCORDION PLAYER - LODEVE FRANCE




SOLD

Lodève is about 55 kms NW from Montpellier, France. Saturdays mornings the small town came to life with the market taking over the main streets of town. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, clothes, bric-a-brac and musicians just like this one.

#166
This is the first of three portraits of the Derby Chap that I'm doing from an app called 'Posebook' by Stephen Silver . I hope you enjoy them as much as I did painting them.
( If you were wondering, there are no copyright issues. I emailed Stephen Silver about posting and selling, and he advised me that because this was my own artwork I am free to do what I like ).

I love using these Ampersand Gessobords ! I was preparing my own but I came to the conclusion that it was a waste of good painting time. I'd rather be painting than preparing boards, or for that fact, housework, cooking, shopping,.......oh my the list could go on and on .........!!!
