Staithes IV

 

Staithes IV

(Acrylic on linen panel, 30x30 cm)

I'd planned on doing only three in this series, but on a whim, decided to try at least one more. Then, having started it, I found myself at the stage of thinking "Why did I decide to do that?" but I could see a way through and this is the result.

I’m interested to find that each of my views of Staithes brings out a slightly different approach, while there’s an overall look that unifies them.

Finished the third of my Staithes paintings today.

(Mixed media on board, 12x12 in)

The latest in my series of textured paintings of doors and walls. In making this, I learned a lesson in using different blues, ultramarine, cobalt and phthalo blue (green shade).

Completed in parallel with the previous painting, Staithes I, so again almost a month in the making. Again I’m pleased with the outcome, especially as it doesn’t look like the painting I thought it would be. Always a bonus.

Almost a month in the making. That’s something I’ve not been accustomed to in recent times, and I’m not sure why it happened. Nevertheless, I’m very pleased with the outcome.
