← Here is today’s plein air oil in blustery weather, at Pegwell bay on the East Kent Coast. I have painted here many times, so chose to focus in on the sand dunes and path following the base of the cliffs. I tried to capture the energy in the wind. 1 1/2 hours approx. Landscape, oil on paper sketch 20 x 10 cm This was part of a rapid sketch on paper using large household brushes and a right-brain approach. I then cropped this image from the larger painting. It’s unusual for me in that it uses lemon yellow and red, two colours I rarely use without mixing in something else. I feel there is something alive about it because of the speed and energy used. →

I liked it a lot. I guess it depends what you are used to, and how you paint. I use acrylics and they are pretty wayward .
