Night song, clouds and the ravine

Latest paintings include a night painting which was VERY hard to photograph but the darker it got as I painted, the more exciting it became (there are birds roosting and glints of last light here and there - and there is actually dark on dark detail in the very dark part which doesn’t really show up), a painting of Tenby harbour in Wales which turned into a seascape once the clouds at the top were painted (they wanted sea beneath - some day I’ll paint Tenby), and a gully where my family walked for the forty years we lived in the house in Canada where I did most of my growing up. I walked through this gully many times with my Mother, and in my turn have walked there with my kids. After Mum died I walked there once more.

Night song

I was painting a harbour but the clouds wanted sea
Weswal Gallery in Tamworth has invited me to have an exhibition there in 2012! I said YES, thanks!!!! How wonderful to have an excuse to paint for the next two years!
