Welcome to this weekend’s thread my choice of artist this week is John Killens.  John Killens has painted full time since 2000, working in oils and pastel, a figurative painter more than half his work is en plein air which he finds a great stimulus and release from the more detailed studio work. Being brought up by the sea with  the Essex countryside around , maritime and landscapes are among his favourite subjects he finds colour vitality in a working factory as an unspoiled landscape .  More information and example of his work on  Johnkillens.co.uk I hope you enjoy the selection I have made .
A few more to bring this back up .
I was going to post the bikes Dixie, so you beat me to it!  Thought you’d like this rusting old boat plus a view on the Thames.
 Bringing it back up from the depths of the forum .
Quite a range, from a very detailed worksop to an impressionist Thames view.   (preferred to the Monet versions imho)
