Boston Harbour Sunset

Medium: Acrylic

This painting was done from a photograph taken during a harbour boat trip.There was a spectacular evening sky and the sailing boats moved liked ghosts against the sound of jets taking off from the main runway at Logan Airport which sticks out into the sea just off the right hand side of the picture.

Stourhead

Pastel on Canson Paper

Stourhead is a National Trust property in the South Western extremity of Wiltshire.

Created in the 1740s by William Hoare, a banker, Stourhead contains a large lake, a Temple of Apollo, a Grotto, a Palladian bridge and many other features. Looking at the sensational views across this garden is exactly like standing in a landscape painting by the French romantic painter, Claude Lorraine.

Acrylics can be very good for giving you some translucency of the sort that you can see in the curl of a wave.

River Pang Reflections

Acrylic

The river Pang near Tidmarsh in Berkshire is a delightful spot which I have painted a number of times.

In this painting, I have aimed to capture the richness of the reflections from the sunlit bank as well as the profusion of the plants on "my" side of the river
