Fields under Lavender Sky

I make it a habit to keep my camera with me everywhere I go.Yesterday we were doing our weekly cash and carry shopping for our work and there's some lovely countryside on the opposite side.I started off this blog mainly painting still life ,but as time goes on I am finding myself drawn more and more towards landscapes.

Stockwood Park Gardens 2

This is my entry for this weeks DPW challenge set by Mary Douglas.I loved this challenge and it is really worth doing,painting this way has opened my eyes to a different type of brushstroke that enriches any painting.Although I do need to practice to improve this method.

Jean's Challenge

I've been meaning to paint this challenge set by Jean Nelson on The DailyPaintworks for the last week.It was fun and very relaxing,I am finding that I enjoy landscapes more, perhaps because I keep the details to a minimum.
