View Toward Caradon Hill

Oil painting on board. Painted outdoors on Bodmin Moor. I stopped the car and set up my painting position as soon as I saw the strong shadows on the hill created by the clouds.

Isn't the natural world just so incredible.

Tregarrick Tor, Bodmin Moor

 I really like the overall effect of the misty fog. Sibblyback Lake is in the valley behind Tregarrick Tor.

Moorland Hills and Heather

 

I have so enjoyed having a go at using more vibrant colours and giving a sense of energy in the brush strokes. Painting based on my journeys on Bodmin Moor.

I enjoy painting the subtle colour changes you find in a moorland landscape such as this one in Bodmin Moor. Behind Tregarrick Tor is Sibblyback Lake but you cannot see the reservoir from this viewpoint. 

Last Light

I had a painting which was started a few years ago but never quite got the sparkle and clarity I was after. I am glad I kept the colouring quite bold.

 

Sunset Over Padstow

Working in my studio shed with sketches of colour but decided to keep the contrast high and lower the waterline.
