I meant page 2 - though it may be page 3 when you read this.

I'm not only inspired by your barn Martin, but by yourself as well! I think I will be purchasing a large stretched canvas and use my new palette knife and my acrylics to try a landscape soon! Is your stretched canvas on a board ready to hang up? I.E. on a frame? I know you can get just canvas boards that aren't on a woden frame... Oh yes I like the colours as well Sian!

Although the colours used here are hot and strong, they still convey a blustery, lonely, windswept spot.

Inspired by a ruined barn at the side of road on the moor above Cullingworth, West Yorkshire. The day was blustery and damp and I did some rather brisk 'plein-air' studies before painting this back home. The obvious colour choices might have been moss greens, greys and blues, so I decided to be different... :o) Palette: ultramarine, crimson and white with a dash of yellow ochre. Acrylic paint applied with a painting knife on stretched canvas. 50cm x 100cm (20" x 39" approx)
