Not quite the same as getting out and about, but thought I'd make a start on a few simple oil studies from my garden. So, I've just completed this first stage, it's a rough patch with last autumns heavy pruning, which I thought made a rather interesting composition in the foreground.
I've got loads of quiet little area's that may make a painting - and at least I'm happy again, painting from life.
Oil on MDF 20 x 20in.

Thanks all (well all 4 of you), obviously these WIP’s are of little interest to most of the forum readers. The forum is pretty quiet at present mind you, I’m sure it will pick up in time.
Well done Nandhini for your splendid effort. I’ve been out painting earlier, working on stage 2 before the rain comes in, no sign of it though as yet!
I’ll post it shortly, haven’t photographed it yet.

Alan, I discovered when I had finished my recent WIP and added it to the Gallery, that several more people had been observing than had actually commented on the Forum, so I’m sure more are looking in on yours also! I remember that I took a while initially to sum up courage to add any comments to forum items, which I think is probably the case for quite a few. Look forward to stage 2.

I'm sure you're right Tessa, I started it in the hope that it would perhaps inspire a few more to do a bit of 'local' plein air painting. I'm enjoying it anyway!
Here's the second stage. Those of you who have seen some of my many WIP's on the e-newsletters, will know that I almost always drop the sky in at around this stage of a painting. Two stages to go and it will be finished.
