Acacia Sunset

Ive been working all day on my latest painting.

Acacia Sunset has been done on a massive 150 cm x 30 cm box canvas, in acrylic paints.

I have put layer upon layer of shades of reds,oranges and yellows onto the canvas.

Each layer has been dried with the hairdryer in between coats.

It positively glows and will really lighten up any room it is hung in.

The acacia trees are painted in black acrylic and they really stand out on the bright background.

The pic on the top is a close up of the left hand side of the painting.

The shadows of the trees and grasses do not show up very well on the photographs.

If you would like to buy the painting the cost is £200 which includes P+P in Uk .If you are outside Uk please get in touch via http://www.paintingmyway.co.uk/main/contact.html

Oriental Dawn

I had a lovely day yesterday with one of my students. She wanted to paint a large painting for her partner for Christmas.

We had lots of fun producing Oriental Dawn for him.

We used the new wipe out tool quite a lot in this picture, its very useful for putting small branches and grasses, its got a silicon rubber tip and it takes the paint off the canvas, you see in the close up how effective it is to do distant birches.

Its been put up safely for her to pick up later this month--Im sure he will be delighted with it.
