BIKES FOR HIRE

Bikes For Hire is another watercolour on yupo. It was originally painted on rough paper with a background but after some consideration I decided to paint it in a more abstract style and leave out the background.Colours blend into each other making it one continous shape. It is the wheels and mirrors that tell us what the subject is.This is a new approach for me.One never stops learning.

Winter Persimmons

After 18 months not painting I now feel I have the energy to put brush to paper. This is my first effort and I am very happy with the result.It is painted on smooth watercolour paper which is a change for me as I have preferred rough in the past.I have achieved a cool winter atmosphere with the persimmons adding a lovely contrast. This is another limited palette painting that does justice to the subject.
