Sunshine Shoppers in Newcastle
This painting was "started" out doors,the street is High bridge Newcastle Upon tyne, the painting was finished in the studio as it was to difficult to complete the two girls outside, I think I was more than a little ambitious to concentrate on the figures rather than just the street and there is to much detailed brush work, the next Plein Air painting will not include such close up figures and will be very loose.
Oil 12"x12"

Tyne Bridge Newcastle upon tyne
I have painted this scene many many times from life and from photos, I can paint it without a reference hanging upside down with both hands tied behind my back while people throw rocks at me , sorry!, during the 90s I used to sell my paintings at a Sunday Art Market situated on Armstrong Bridge in Newcastle and the sales from this image alone used to keep me going, I am about to start a new series of Plein Air paintings, working on the streets of Newcastle and Hexham, this was a small warm up painting.

PUG
You do not see many pugs but they are surprisingly popular dogs, Pug owners are usually "Pug mad" and have one after the other, Strange looking dogs, good to paint !

by the Moonlight
This is another small painting, it is 16x11cm. I have found that Painting so small gives me more freedom of brushwork, less fuss, which is a good thing , if you paint, give it a try !
