A Trio of Textures....

Good Evening,

It's been all gesso and paint today. Managed to remember to put an apron

on about halfway through the proceedings, so am now picking the white

smudges off my jumper while watching Midsomer Murders.

Playing with texture effects again, trying to be landscapey, but not representative.

A bit of collage, some texture gel and acrylic paint.

It's really good, acrylic paint, because when you get it wrong (and I did!), you

can paint over it all with more gesso and try again :)

This one is supposed to be sky.

I think I am getting a bit nearer.

Will try again tomorrow. P.

A Bit of Manx Landscape...

Hi All,

Had quite a productive day today....for a change! With some acceptable

results.

This is my interpretation of the view which until recently (someone has built a house

in the way :(   ) I could see from my window. I can still see it if I go out and walk

round the corner. The tower, or folly, known as Milner Tower, stands on Bradda

Head, and the traditional Manx boat is known, apparently, as a "Manx Nobby".

In the summer, we do get some spectacular sunsets, so it wasn't too difficult

to imagine this.

There is a second painting......later......

Bye for now, P.
