#pumpkins #oil Trying my oil again near Titchfield – see my website for more..
I began with a sketch on cardboard and then went onto start on proper board…. Hope it’s sunny tomorrow and I get a chance to go back to finish.

#pumpkins #autumn On the way to Titchfield.
The weather has been so warm today – and the sun bright and casting long shadows by the time I started these. Then at the last few moments before the sun went down the field became very brightly orange. This is the last very quick watercolour impression of how they seemed to glow against …
#Aberaeron #Wales Am I the only person doing the same thing lots of times?
Reworking an oil plein air sketch on cardboard, of the beach and harbour wall in Aberaeron, West Wales, on to board. The view from a similar spot. Isn’t it odd how flat a photo makes everything look? And how lovely and sunny it was – it was actually a very cold morning indeed! …

#Fareham #1066
I popped out before the forecast rain arrived, to draw in Fareham. Can you believe (there was a plaque to enlighten me) that this is where William’s reserve army landed as part of his invasion in 1066, and then they marched up the Meon valley to Winchester! Then I tried again with oil …
On the way to London….
Yesterday’s speed sketches that I made on the way to London by train, on a bag that had contained lemon cake. I’m very grateful to have had a chance to speak with Sara Dudman , judge from the Sunday Times watercolour competition last evening, and lucky to have had some great advice. Thank you …
#e exhibition Link to the drawing prize finalists.
http://www.kyffinwilliams.info/eng/wobr2015artistiaid.html#p7APMc1_50 I hope that this link will take you to Oriel Ynys Môn site to view the entries (and some very poor photographs of my entries)….better still why not visit the whole exhibition in beautiful North Wales in person. It’s open until February next year but please check opening times before you set off.
@OrielYnysMon #drawing #kyffinwilliams See you there?
Here is my plein air piece which is in the Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize, actually in the process of being worked on…sunlight…shadows…and without the building in the rear yet. My (new) framer tells me that that building, (he’s also a guide onboard HMS Victory) is haunted! It was a hot day in summer 2014 …

Mottisfont Abbey @MottisfontNT @DavidBreuer
Lovely Motisfont Abbey NT today. The light was very good but I felt it was a struggle to get the shadows to recede and the brights to shine. I arrived just following the installation of a large sculpture of a figure with its head buried in in the earth! I wonder who made it? …
Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize @OrielYnyMon Great to receive my invitation for the 11th!
Three of my ink drawings are in the mix, and I am looking forward to taking part in this exhibition in Anglesey, Wales, which celebrates and promotes, the importance of drawing. Looking forward to meeting the other exhibitors and seeing their work 🙂
