Pollensa Calvary Steps Mallorca

Pollensa Calvari Steps – Original Watercolour Painting

An Original Watercolour SOLD

The first watercolour I did was from the top of the 365 Calvari steps with the town of Pollenca in the distance. The steps are lined with picturesque properties and cypress trees which cast shadows across the steps.

I wasted no time in producing a second sketchbook painting, this time of the client’s property. Mid morning sunlight created interesting shadows to help frame the building.

Visit our Ponteland Gallery to see more paintings of Mallorca.

Pollenca

I’ve recently been commissioned to paint a client’s holiday home in Mallorca, a very attractive Mediterranean island. To be able to paint the property with greater insight, we felt it would be best to stay for several days to enable me to do some sketchbook watercolours, not just of the property, but also the small […]

60th Birthday

Grey Street Painting This week saw me reach another landmark birthday, I’m now 60 years old. I have to say that I’m grateful to God that I’ve been blessed with 60 years to date. However, compared to my 60th, my 50th birthday was more of a year of contemplation and challenge. In 2011 when I […]

Grey Street Newcastle

Grey Street – Original Watercolour Painting

I have a couple of painting commissions involving figures and architecture.
This scene of Grey Street (now available £975 framed) is a great way to loosen up with some fresh lively brush strokes to capture the movement of the figures and the classic Georgian architecture.
It also features my wife Susan and our niece Catriona when she was about 3 years old, on the way to Panis on High Bridge Street.
I never tire of painting Grey Street, whether it’s summer, snow or rain. There’s always something going on to inspire.

Dreaming Of Walking on Water

A dream Last year I had a dream where I was underwater. There were all kinds of fish swimming around. I seemed to be aware that there were two people walking on the surface of the water. When I woke up, I decided to paint the scene for a painting project whilst the image was […]

Artist Support Pledge At the beginning of May I was alerted to the Artist Support Pledge through artist and friend Adebanji Alade.

Painting Grey Street

  Sir Nikolaus Pevsner Grey Street in Newcastle has been described by the architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as the finest curved street in Europe.

Terracotta Pots

Terracotta Pots

There is no shortage of subject matter to paint on our painting holidays in Italy.

We stay at the 5* luxury accomodation Chiesa del Carmine, a beautifully restored church and country villa, so even if its a rainy day, there are plenty of things to paint indoors.

On our last holiday some of the guests and I painted four terracotta pots that were placed on the floor by a window. I was taken by the effect of light catching the eclipses and the colour of the pots.

SOLD

 

This watercolour has been inspired by those studies.
