On a wet, grey day like today it was great to frame some of my recently completed small paintings, because they reminded me that we have in fact had some excellent summer days this year. It hasn't been unremittingly dull weather- we've had some spectacularly sunny days, with gorgeous blue skies, temptingly vivid sea and golden fields. And best of all- I've been able to get out and about to enjoy them. I've even had a "plodge" or two at the coast and enjoyed some fine picnics (Even the one we had on a bench at Boulmer, when a passerby with an excited dog pointed out that there was a dead rabbit on the ground directly behind us- which we hadn't detected because of a good healthy breeze off the sea!) .
This selection of paintings are all coastal scenes of some of my favourite places. They're probably YOUR favourite spots too!
Bamburgh Castle Reflections
Walking on Bamburgh Beach
Bamburgh Beach with Lindisfarne
Dunstanburgh Castle and Wheat Fields
Exploring the Rock Pools at Howick
Sun, Sea and Cereal- Wheat Fields at Dunstan
The Bathing House at Howick, With Dunstanburgh Castle
These small paintings are all part of my collection of "standard" small paintings. They are each 12 cm square, window mounted in off-white/ ivory coloured card and framed in solid oak frames, bringing the completed framed size to 26 cm sq. They and a large selection of other Northumberland landscapes the same style and size, are available at Crown Studio Gallery for £69 each.
