Our Christmas Exhibition starts on the weekend of the 4th and 5th November 2017. The scene above of Grey Street on a bleak winter’s day in Newcastle is this years Christmas Card. It is also available as an original watercolour.
The Christmas Exhibition also includes many new original watercolours and oil paintings which I’ve been working on over the last 12 months in between painting commissions. Local scenes are featured together with works inspired by our Painting Holidays in Italy. Tranquil olive groves and picturesque hilltop towns are always a delight to capture on location in my sketchbook. Then it’s a trip down memory lane in the studio as I reflect on the holiday and develop these studies into more finished paintings.
I’ve also managed to squeeze in some new cityscapes of London and and beach scenes on the island of Tiree in Scotland.
There are a number of new limited edition prints also being showcased for the first time so it promises to be a busy weekend.
Our Christmas Exhibition will continue until Saturday 23rd December 2017.
You will see from the link to the original watercolour that I have since made some changes to the painting. I have added one of my granddaughters to the scene. She’s wearing a red coat. This provides that splash of colour and a focal point to the composition.
