Abstract Paintings


A bit of sun and everyone seems happier or is it me?...anyway by way of a change from painting small landscapes...to relax a little more I have been painting small abstract paintings over the last week...I love doing these..the sense of freedom and not knowing whats going to transpire make them exciting to paint especially when painted with music playing...some have white canvas or coloured ground showing through,some are grooved with knives etc and others with raised paint...these like my small landscapes are either painted on canvas board or masonite board...due to their lightness in weight I'm able to offer FREE worldwide shipping...any questions let me know...for more info check out http://www.itsromanticpaintings.co.uk/4.html

No Smir This Bank Holiday Weekend


Another bank holiday weekend finds me north of the border ...expecting less than perfect weather how wrong was I...Looking across the Firth Of Clyde to the Isle Of Arran and beyond past the Mull Of Kintyre...Ailsa Craig stood like you could reach out and touch it...instead of the usual haze it was a change to be able to see and define landmarks with certainty...Anyway heres a pic across the Firth Of Clyde To the Isle Of Arran with the northern half of the island with its distinctive mountain range and Holy Island just off the coast in Lamlash Bay.

What a great weekend weatherwise that was

Wow what a refreshing change to feel the warmth of the sun over the last few days..As I type this and look towards my back garden it looks like another beautiful day unfolding..anyway heres the weeks painting upload...entitled "Ailsa Craig from Girvan"once again on masonite board enabling free shipping worldwide...yes its another painting from north of the border in Scotland...

This acrylic seascape painting is of Ailsa Craig seen from the beach in the South Ayrshire town of Girvan..now uninhabited this volcanic plug of an extinct volcano is where blue granite is sourced to make curling stones...

Having visited this area alot in recent years I now know what the locals mean by the term "ever changing light"..one minute its sun then dramatically the scene changes to one of cloud or rain with a tease of stunning light thrown in...
