It seems a while since I posted, but my stock of new paintings continues to grow. I live in west Wales, with its wonderful, moderate microclimate. I frequently see storms gathering in the bay, ready to unleash whatever on Snowdonia to the north. This is a view of one such storm as seen from the coastal footpath near Llangranog.
very beautiful
Must be fascinating to see the storms roll in. Another beauty! - Deb
Beautiful.
captured that view beautifully. We live just a bit in land from there and love our walks along the coast while I still can. Love driving the coast road with its stunning views across Cardigan Bay.
that is so beautiful! Do you use watercolor, oil, or acrylic
Hmmm. . . . . what don't I use? Well, no oils. Never never never. But I do lots and lots of experimentation. This, I think, reflects my background as an experimental but creative scientist.
I use in varying degrees between paintings: watercolour paper (either 142 or 200 lb), white gesso, white tissue paper, tube watercolour, white gouache, oil pastel, arcylic ink, granulation medium, artist's white chalk, distressed burlap or scrim, and Inktense (as block or pencil). I have not yet used the kitchen sink. I am now tending to paint bigger, moving more to 1" and 2" brushes.
I have also been known to do some collage, but using strange materials such as the bags that oranges come in in the UK, and ditto garlic. These can also be used in lovely, unusual ways. I have on occasion applied thick white gesso as a ground, pressed the plastic mesh into the ground, left it until it's almost dry, then pealed it away to leave a wonderful patterned design on which to paint watercolour.
I hope that answers your question, Drandma. I shall photograph a few more to show you some of my techniques over the coming weeks.
I like this,
Great texture and the muted color palette really sets the scene 🤩
Very intriguing and beautiful.
You know, I should have picked a day like that day when I married my ex-wife, good excuse not to show up......Keep up the good work...........
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I love watching gathering storms like that. The painting certainly evokes the feeling. Thanks for sharing.
