This is the last painting I did – it’s quite recent, a remembering of the summer. It’s 60x 80 in oil mostly splurged on with a palette knife ( ok, so added, scraped off, added again, until I got fed up with it). I would love your thoughts, you all are such a great bunch of people to offer a critique. Ps – It’s good to be back here..!

Here’s a loose watercolour and gouache painting I made after visiting Malta for a few days. I made a sketch of this scene when I was there, and also took lots of photographs for reference. But I was trying not to look at them when I did this. All feedback welcome

Maine Seascape. this a re-painting of one that i submitted to Louise for feedback. It may not be perfect, but i am so much happier with it now. Many thanks Louise! I re-painted all in one go, very quickly, mostly with a knife. Lately i have been using a pallet knife more often. Maybe I just don’t like washing brushes! But i do like how the knife pushes paint around. Does anyone else work with a pallet knife ? it’s a new skill for me.

I made a still life with a small frame (aperture?) and I tried a set up with warmer light than I usually do. I tried to be mindful of the space, front to back etc, but I find that hard :) I really liked the Claudia Carr painting you showed us and I wanted to try painting a “white” object. That is also why the other still life I posted had a curled up white towel
