POPPY LOVE

16"x 12" PEN & WASH. I painted this on because we had an art exhibition coming up and it's close to Remembrance Day. A friend of mine really liked the piece, so it's now hanging on her wall :-)


PAINTING IN WALES

PAINTING HOLIDAY

Oops! Forgot to post this. My girlfriend and I had a week off work and drove down to a lovely cottage in Llanwrst in North Wales a couple of months ago. Had a brilliant time. So nice to spend a week away from the hustle and bustle and just chill out walking in beautiful countryside and painting.

BIG RED

12"x 12" ACRYLIC. I just love this one! Painted it with a palette knife.Rather unusually, I mounted the canvas panel on TOP of the glass in the frame instead of underneath it :-)

FRUIT & FLOWERS

30"x 22" PEN & WASH.  Did this one quickly and loosely - just had fun. Nearly binned it a couple of times but thought "What the hell" and carried on. Quite like it.


Our Own Art-Club!

Each Friday we go to the local Art-Club in Horwich. It's a thriving club with a broad range of people of all ages and skill-levels. Apart from the regular painting sessions, we have many professional artists visiting us to demonstrate their skills and to run workshops.

But sometimes, it's nice when just a few friends get together mid-week too, and so here we are in Simon's "studio", benefitting from the skill and experience of his father, Brian Waddington. It looks a bit cramped in there, but we were just huddled together to fit in the photo frame :-)



And you can drink beer in this club! :-)
