Less is More

While being very realistic in my drawings (which I enjoy doing very much), I have lately been more and more interested in simplifying my oil paintings. The last few days I have actually concentrated solely on abstract sketches but I don't yet feel comfortable posting them. This one I did just after the last one I posted (In the Corner) and then forgot to post it as well. It's a step towards the abstract and I personally prefer it.

In Jane's Garden

Spent a very enjoyable afternoon painting with friends in a friend's garden, in fantastic late summer weather. Thank you Jane, especially for the delicious lunch!

Happy New Year to everyone!
So, this is my first daily painting in 2011 and I have to get into the swing of it again, after a few weeks of holiday and working on a difficult commission.

At last we can sit outside again and enjoy the warmth of the sunshine - desperately needed after this long, cold winter. At midday the sun is even hot, in the afternoon it's just right for reading, with a woolen blanket on your lap.

Again we are snowed in, this time luckily at home and not out somewhere. Just hope the snow will melt until tomorrow, so that we can go and buy some petroleum for our little burner... and - there's not much wood left either. It has been impossible to get in touch with the wood deliverer over the last days. I guess he's very, very busy and doesn't even answer the phone anymore. Living in Southwest France we thought, we didn't really need a central heating. Well, that has proven to be wrong!

Cold Morning in Autumn

Our garden with view into the valley and rolling hills on the other side.
I am trying and enjoying to keep the paint more fluid and plan on doing more landscapes for a while. But then - I don't always stick to my plans...

This is one of our favourite spots to sit and have lunch whilst enjoying the lovely view down into the valley - but now it has quite suddenly become too cold to do so - autumn is taking over. Now we just enjoy the new colours appearing in nature!

Back again, at last! Well sort of, because I am writing this on a friend's computer.
Have been without an internet connection for over a week now, due to a technical problem.
Unfortunately things take a long time here in southwest France - you need a lot of patience!
But I hope to be back online regularly again soon - I really miss looking at the Daily Painters Gallery every morning and am looking forward to seeing all the new work!
