Yew Tree farm - watercolour and pencil 8x10

This Blog is mostly about plein air works - indeed this is one that I painted in England a few months ago. Yew Tree Farm - our hostess told us that Prince Charles stays here occasionally. She didn't divulge any more snippets about that. Privacy and privilege of course. I wonder if Coll and I got the same room though?

Three yachts at Oak Bay Marina

This is one of my favourite MD Sansom plein air pieces - simple yet full of impact and a nice style to boot.

‘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.
