Back to the woods for a small 10” by 8” oil sketch on oil paper

[DrWilly]

[nigelandjan]

No worries Wills thanks for looking

[nigelandjan]

A small study of beach huts on the front row at Walton on naze .

Not much of a painting , but an excersise in the observation of some of the crazy angles involved ,, those roof peak lives are set at 155 degrees !

oil on oil paper ,

oh stop press ,, forgot to mention I got my first decent sale of the year , the bluebell one on the previous page has gone to a new home

[DrWilly]

Here we are tbh I’m beginning to loose the will to live with this one , my bleathuritus has flared up in my left eye and left it badly infected all week so I’ve been struggling to paint with one eye .
Here it is “ jewels of spring “ oil on mdf ,, I think about 17” by 14” if I remember correctly ,, sitting in a frame that I have lovingly restored ,, I really hope this one goes and hangs on someone else’s wall

Typical April week here in the Uk ,, biblical amounts of rain one day followed by beautiful bright warm sunshine the next day.

On one of the bright sunny mornings I nipped off down to the local Walton Marina to paint another view as the sun rose

Oil on mdf 225mm square sitting in a beautiful larch float frame I also made

The photo DONT do this one justice , but it is what it is

[nigelandjan]

Got given a ton of small 3mm mdf about 5” wide most of it so I’m chopping it up in my workshop slapping a bit of gesso on it then practising splodging oil all over it ,, 1st one about 3000 more to follow

[nigelandjan]

Happy day today ,, never thought I’d make it ,, so a little oil message to all my friends that have made today so special for me

[DrWilly]

Happy (belated) birthday, ya old bugger! 3 score & 10? Every year is a bonus now. Enjoy them!

[Stretchy]

Happy birthday Nigel.

[nigelandjan]

Yes thanks ,, trying to make the most of everyday I have left .

Yesterday I took a small painting trip to my old town of Colchester , unfortunately the previous shipping lane in has now been allowed to silt up beyond use other than the glorified dropouts living illegally mostly in these old wrecks , anyway they make interesting subjects to paint.
Will be back down there for a lot more different angles and objects to paint .

The Hythe at low tide in Colchester oil on oil paper about A4 size

Out in sunny Lanzarote , so unfortunately airlines dictate no oil so it’s the plastic acrylic crap

Im sure this was invented on the 8th day

Anyway it’s better for me than nothing ,, I won’t use that shitty cheesy cover all excuse (( impressionist work )) no it’s not it’s outside my ability with the plastic stuff

[nigelandjan]

And todays one a small local fishing village we visited for lunch today

[Stretchy]

A nice choice of colours Nigel.

^^^^^^^70 is a big one Nige

Congratulations and many happy returns

Here's to ya sir

I like the slightly spooky atmosphere in this one



Why don't stick a couple of creepy oddbods in the foreground to give a bit of an Amercian Gothic vibe

[Edmond]

Lovely Nige.

I last went to the Canaries in '99, and Morocco in '04, the house reminds me of both. Lovely places.



The house also reminds me of a cute Pokemon Go character.





Not that I ever played it.

[nigelandjan]

Thanks all for the feedback ,, the brushes ain’t getting hung up just yet

[nigelandjan]

Another small fishing village another impression of the colours

Outstanding Loops!!!

Got any pics?

Would love to cycle around Lanzerote!

Lived there for 6 months in the early nineties, great place for surfing, triathletes and cycling.

As well as making money n shagging 2 week Tracey and Sandra's.

Funnily enough I was googling flights and air bnbs for that wonderful Island last night.
