As artists we are always developing. I started this site some years ago to monitor my progress at art classes. Some areas have improved faster than others and I expect this to continue to be an interesting journey. Constructive comments are always welcome. Steve.
I've done a little more work at the base of this (see below) Removed a large dark rock which grabbed the eye and introduced some reflections into the pool. Acrylic 12"x16".
"Stalker Castle" Acrylic 16"x7" on board. This is how I think it looks through binoculars from the hillside a couple of miles to the south east. I have a photo I took a few years ago from the road below the hillside. Not as high up of course so I've moved the islands down a bit in this painting. Now the firs have grown taller its not so easy to see the castle from that bit of road.
An imaginary scene. Gouache 16"x12" Painted in layers.
Small sketch in ink (6"x4"). More of a practice than a proper work. This is one of the views up Loch Creran from the Scottish Sealife Sanctuary which is about five minutes up the road from home. There was plenty of fresh snow on the hills which kept disappearing under cloud. As it was quite cold and showery I did the outline sketch on the spot and completed it back at home.
Ink,Pencil and Charcoal drawing of Glen Sallach on A2 size paper. The glen is located on the eastern side of Ben Lora a couple of miles (as the crow flies) from Benderloch.
