Spring'in to Life

Spring'in to Life - Oil on Linen - 50cm X 60cm

Painted this to test some lovely Michael Harding oil paints. As can be seen in the close up photograph, little attention is paid to accurate painting of details and structures but rather to loosely capturing the feel and light of this beautiful garden.

Mini portrait sketch

This is a mini portrait sketch of Olwyn done from a photo reference. It is a lot smaller than I would usually paint but the pose struck a chord with me. I struggled to add detail due to the size of brushes required and that might not be such a bad thing.
