Another great example Alan, I'm enjoying your mixed media phase.

Lovely attractive work as usual Alan. The orange and blues sing out to give give life to the piece.

I always enjoy watching you playing with different media and techniques - inspiring the rest of us, by the way.....

You have a wonderful fresh style Alan. I love looking all around your paintings, there is so much to see in the landscapes you paint. There is so much line work and expression throughout. Thanks for listing all the different mixed media you use...:)

You are a great painter Alan and these mixed exercises have been a joy to look at and we have all learnt from them. Looking forward to the next step!

Love this mixed media style, Alan. A great composition and beautiful mix of warm colours set against the cool blue.

Continuing the mixed media theme, I painted this last week, 15 x 11in en-plein-air, as I always prefer, weather permitting. I've been out this morning and had a go at another canal scene, which will possibly be my last one of this series. I have enjoyed experimenting with it, but the time may have come to move on. Just in case you missed my earlier ones, I have used oil paints, applied more like watercolour, oil pastels, marker pens, carbon pencils and pastel pencils, quite a mixed bag.
