Doxey Marshes towards the Castle - En-plein-air oil sketch.
A complete change of direction, I am working on a series of 'semi-abstract' oil paintings, various sizes up to 48in. This one, painted yesterday is from one of my favourite spots for sketching, 200+ acres of unspoint nature reserve wetlands on my doorstep, offering some great vistas. I have to move on from the printing (only temporary), and be more expressive and loose, which has always been my preferred style, although I do find it so difficult to not overwork things too much, I hope 'less is more', and I do hope that you will enjoy looking at the series. This one is 305 x 305mm and is oil on Daler board, ideal for outdoor work.
