Flowers are a favorite subject of mine as they lend themselves to liberal composition and colour.

These are watercolours of London streets in the Piccadilly area that I painted some years ago. They were popular with tourists who wanted souvenirs to remind them of the sights they had seen.

And now for something completely different, (for me, anyway). This abstract painting was inspired by my sofa, which, frankly is not as colourful as depicted here. I aimed for a good colour balance as well as a semi-representational subject

I painted this 12"x14" pastel portrait of a girl way back in 1992. She lived in a cupboard hidden away because I had no room left on my walls to display her. I have decided to put her on auction and maybe she'll find a new home.

THIS IS A CV THAT I USED TO DISPLAY AT VARIOUS EXHIBITIONS

I sold the painting of a Breton village (see below) and felt inspired to paint another Breton scene in a similar style, this time with boats and a few houses in the background. I had some acrylic paper left with an appealing canvas weave which offered little resistance to my brushes, Here is the result....

I decided to paint another 14"x11" acrylic and guache painting on mounting board, with a Scottish coastal theme in the same "modern" style as my painting of "Skye seen from Kyle of Lochalsh" which I painted yesterday. I had no problems with the colour balance this time and it went smoothly. I called this one "West Coast of Scotland".

I spent a good part of the day trying to paint a more abstract seascape and had a tricky time trying to get the right colour balance, having to rework the piece several times but eventually got there to my satisfaction.
I worked on mounting board with acrylic and guache mix as usual, and the proposed size was large for me, approximately 14"x11" . So maybe unfamiliarity with the size of the painting slowed me down too.
The subject of the painting is the Isle of Skye as seen from Kyle of Lochalsh on the west coast of Scotland.
