Saxe Point - MD Sansom

‘At Saxe Point’
A scene I have painted often. Each time the weather has been different and that day there was no sun – no directional light so it was necessary to find other means of interest. Thankfully the clouds had a distinct direction and so did the rocks and casual path in the foreground.

Self by pastel - M.D.Sansom

As a newcomer to this blog I decided to introduce self by a quick self portrait. Created in pastel for the Goward House Portrait Painters annual display, I wanted to show that it is not necessary to have a ’completed’ work; that a few lines and strong composition can convey as much as the very detailed oil painting.

'Late of a summer evening
when from off the sea
a lively breeze
moves through the trees
Swallows and Martins soaring high
in the fast fading rays
of the summer sky
and the golden glow
of these halcyon days'

Plein air sketch - Berlin

Still with a sore back, I limped around this neighbourhood in Spandau, Berlin and settled at a table to make this quickie, using conté pencil.

'Highrock Sky'

This one is from a few weeks ago that

goes to show you never know what your

going to find when you head out.

This cloud formation started to form 

as I was walking about to get

my chosen spot for this

early evening paint.

Another one in this years crop of Camas.
