ACEO Waterolour Chris Larkin Titled SUNBLUSH HILL.

I'm playing around again with subtle colour changes to see what moods I can conjure up.Using warmer and colder shadow areas, as small as they are, do make a significant difference.....Well, to me anyway.

Painting the background hill, a purply grape colour plays off against the yellowy fence and far trees for more impact, but at the same time helps unify the painting's overall palette and colour scheme........Also,........does it really matter?

Corner by Sally's Watercolour.

I often love painting in the square format, as it is not the most obvious and favoured dimensions.

It gets me creative on another level for filling and balancing the space.

PROMENADE - Watercolour.

Again, another older piece of mine that I came across.

My move from a more realism style of painting is more or less complete.

Just what I originally intended.

This is a piece painted many years ago,but I'm always drawn to it for its simplicity in my opinion.

It was certainly a pre-cursor to my stick legged people that now are the mainstay of my work.

I like, where possible, to have the people in my paintings relate to one another, and this was the start of it for me.

Even though many of my pieces have street scenes, it is the people depicted in them, and what they are doing, that holds the most importance.
