Landscape 2 - "Foggy from Cattle Point" MD Sansom

The painting shown here is quite small. Oil on board, sited at Cattle point looking landward on a very foggy morning. Quite a touch of mystery, leaving the viewer much to imagine.

September Sky Esquimalt Lagoon

'Some cloud chasing with this piece, 

on a beautiful early September morning.
The resting Gulls in the foreground 

seemed little concerned with my folly...'

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.

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.
