JANUARY 2015 Challenge Square

30 in 30 Challenge
Jan 31

I challenged myself to paint more

in oils but this time with a palette knife -

which I am enjoying. Especially after finding Leslie
Saeta's online classes for palette knife painting, which I
thoroughly recommend.
At first the few results I had I was not confident I would
progress,  but now I like the change in my painting.

As a result,  I now have a few new 

landscapes and seascapes of my own designs in progress.

In the meantime this is the square of
paintings for this Challenge .

1. New Year Toasted 2. La Tour Eiffel
( both painted from Leslie Saeta's Calendar course)

3. Purple Vase (my own composition)

4. Still Life with Pumpkins
(Painted from the Calendar class)

5. Christmas Revisited 6. The Supporter's New Hat
(both painted from my own photographs)

7. Sailing Home
(Now called "With Gulls Following!" and updated above this post)
(inspired by Ruth Archer's photograph on Paint My Photo)

PURPLE VASE

30 Paintings in 30 Days
Day 18

This painting is a reworking of a damaged watercolour that was

painted in Stavanger, Norway. I wanted to keep it as it holds

some sentimental value also the light is quite

different there with less pollution to get in the way!
