Back to work after the festive holidays

Christmas and New Year have gone and its back to the day job at the easel. As we make an early start to the new year the paint brush has been very busy so I have several new works to show plus a few other older paintings that have been moderised with added colour. However we have had a few cold but sunny days so I spent some time in the garden transplanting shrubs, spring flowers and repairing fences blown down in the storms.

Last winter landscape painting for 2021

Christmas has just passed and 2022 is fast approaching. The last three paintings completed in 2021 are shown below. Had to do some winter landscapes as it seems this is the only place to find a wee bit of snow, as global warming takes hold and our winters turn grey and wet, but still warm. Still running with my festive bonus of £100 off these £400 acrylic winter landscape paintings.
