Under the bridge, Bayeux

Under the bridge, Bayeux
Oils on canvas board 6" x 8"

A very quick study from my day in Bayeux last week. It was a very unassuming bridge but I loved the abstract shapes forming the stonework and reflections in the water. It only took twenty minutes, I was on my way to meet some of the others for lunch (regular meals and coffee breaks are important to me!).

I've been sending out lots of email invitations to my exhibition and private view on Sunday. If you'd like one and haven't received one please let me know, and if you've received one please could you give me a quick reply so that I have an idea of numbers. Thank you!

Some nice bits about me and the other Jubilee artists in the latest edition of Paint magazine - special thanks to Sue Millington! That really made me smile :-)

Sunset in Douarnenez

Here I am, back from the trip but rather exhausted and full of cold! I used Rover at last, my mini pochade box, for these two small paintings of the sunset looking towards the island of Le Tristan from the edge of the hotel garden.
I'm starting to enjoy using Rover although I do find it difficult working so small. I forgot to bring my extra 6" x 8" boards with me but I was able to buy some from my new American friend Bobbi Heath, a fellow blogger!
These two paintings will be available for sale in my exhibition in Nottingham which is happening very soon, from the 16th to the 23rd July. Please visit if you can!
I'd like to put all of the paintings in the exhibition online with prices, does anybody have any ideas on the best way to do this?

Here's a picture of Rover in use when I got up really early on Sunday morning in Port en Bessin...
