This afternoon I made an effort to get my oil paints out and walk up to the fields behind our house to do a study. In the nearby fields tractors we ploughing, I was not the only one working!

Cottage By The Sea, Balmerino, Oil

Today I was at Balmerino for an art lunch with creative friends. Tide was out so I had the opportunity to set up on the shore. Using a bit of artistic licence for the waves!! This painting I did just with a palette knife. I forgot to take my mixing palette so had to work directly from my colours.

This little rabbit is a charity shop find that I rescued. I enjoyed painting this on a red shiny tray.

During this painting I was wondering what to do with the lemons afterwards. Finished the painting today and ended up making a lemon drizzle cake.

It has been interesting finding different subjects for the days I am able to do a small painting for this blog. I liked the personalities these little people seem to have. They seemed to be conversing with each other!

Woke to lots of snow today. Went out to the fields behind our house and did a very quick oil sketch. 

Frozen Fields, Oil 20×30cm

The sun was hitting the top of the fields and that was what caught my attention. As I was painting in the shadow I had very cold fingers, it was not just the fields that were frozen.

Cottage And Waves, Balmerino, Oil 24×18cm

Went down to Balmerino and set up on the shore to do this painting. It was really enjoyable listening to the water lapping close by until I realised my feet were getting wet as the tide came in! I had to move a couple of times until I finished this study.

At the weekend I bought this vase from the St Andrews pottery shop and it inspired this painting.
