A blue grey base coat. Then taped. Then turquoise above, 2 greens below. Some yellow powder pigment dusted over the bottom half. Random diagonal marks with the squeegee edge. Removed tape. More tomorrow.
Good start to 2016 🙂

update on trees of Hafod

Update on trees from Hafod
Diptych 100cm x 200cm, probably finished now – and probable title is ‘Winter Trees’ (Hafod is an estate in Wales with lovely woodland open to the public, but not many people outside Wales know the name )

The other painting is still in progress, inspired by a sunset over the sea ‘Carrickfinn boat strand’
Also a diptych, but this time each canvas is 100cm x 80cm so the whole piece is 100 x 160cm

Wishing everyone a happy peaceful holiday
