No Joe don’t think so , it’s a bit overdone through photoshop that one ,, no I shall attempt them swimming towards the viewer with some disturbed water flow ,, well that’s the theory

Spring is in the air

^good effort Nige

Sterling, But the foreground feels kinda empty…

[nigelandjan]

Thanks both for the above comments ^ yes you are absolutely correct Wills ,, it has proved popular on other sites , no one else has mentioned that but you are absolutely spot on .
This kinda feedback is very helpful to me and I really have to sort my shit out if I’m gonna progress .
In future I’m going to do some thumbnail sketches to work out composition better before whacking the paint on
Thanks again

Another work in progress job here ,, much larger than of late and back on mdf to go in a frame I have just refurbished

So oil on primed mdf about 17” by 14”

Seasonal painting that’s all I’m gonna say at this stage

[nigelandjan]

Bit more of the frame works blocked in

[nigelandjan]

I wasn’t happy with the positioning of those two big trees in the middle , so I wiped away with some turps and reinstated with a gap between them

[nigelandjan]

Then I mixed up some warm and cool greys for the trunks and began to map out what I had in mind ,, not very happy with the result ,, will adjust when it’s dried a bit , it’s come out too dark

[DrWilly]

Taking shape…

[nigelandjan]

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

We’ve had biblical amounts of rain ,, so most of the Dedham and Flatford meadows are flooded

The sea one feels unfinished or lacks something.

the forest stream is good.

[nigelandjan]

Yeah true Wills , not paintings as such just purely 30 min brushwork and see what happens etc

Heres another non painting just a bit of fun by the stour with some coffee ,, Aldi decaf + Columbian full roast

Crap painting but smells nice

Off to Sudbury tommorow for a free visit to the brand new refurbished Gainsborough House under their thank the lottery scheme which paid for a large part of it , they are giving 3 days free entry instead of £17.50 each on sight of a digital lottery entry on your phone ,, very excited to go

[nigelandjan]

Just a quick report back on yesterdays visit ,, absolutely superb and a fantastic morning followed by a delicious coffee in their new cafe.

Our free tickets gave us full access to all the buildings and exhibitions

I was amazed how totally engrossed Jan was in it all as we was in there 1.40 mins

Highly recommended if anyone is in the areas

I could spend 30 hours and nothing would look even close to how well you paint. Thank you, again, for sharing.

Oil on mdf 8” square , sunrise on the nort Essex coast in Walton on naze

[nigelandjan]

Continual rain and cold here now ,, so a little spring bright view along a path in the Dedham areas about 3 weeks ago

You may remember a little while back I did a small pastel sketch of one of the pollarded trees by the Stour at Dedham , I was then asked to do a larger oil of the same subject ,this one is 14” by 11” oil on mdf in an old frame I have restored and repainted .

[nigelandjan]

Done nothing but rain and freezing bloody cold all week ,, so a cold windy Walton expressed simply with a very grey limited pallete

[nigelandjan]

Very very wet here now ,, Fen lane Dedham where Constable painted The Cornfield
