A lot of setting up at the @paintoutnorfolk 2021 exhibition was underway when I dropped off my final painting this morning (including mowing the gallery grass). Exhibition is at Flint Barn Field, Whitlingham Country Park is open from 6.30pm to 8pm this evening for the Private View and Saturday 10am to 6pm.Here is my final @paintoutnorfolk 2021 painting. Elm Hill is a popular Norwich view for artists, with its jettied medieval buildings and lovely cobbled streets. I was trying to convey the different surfaces in relation to each other through tone and texture.My set up this morning at Elm Hill in Norwich - for my last painting as part of @paintoutnorfolk 2021.... and this is my day 7 @paintoutnorfolk 2021 painting. The grounds of Gunton Deer Park was the most tranquil setting and my interest was taken by the extraordinary thatched housing for the water-powered sawmill (dating from 1824 and apparently the only surviving water-powered sawmill in Norfolk - lovingly cared for by the Norfolk Windmills Trust). In front of it stood a crane whose rusted cogs introduced rich russet tones into the painting.In the penultimate painting session today in @paintoutnorfolk 2021, I set up beside the Saw Mill at Gunton Park - as photographed here by @stephenjohnstonpainter (who I think, rather effectively, painted me!)

O3 Gallery – Polperro Harbour
The reflective nature of water and the patterns of a variety of boat forms give visual excitement whatever the weather. This last O3 Gallery painting is of Polperro Harbour when the light had a silvery glint to it, a point in … Continue reading

O3 Gallery – Harbour Wall and Chapel Hill, Polperro
Although Polperro does not have grand architecture, the array of lovely vernacular cottages lining its topography are very appealing. In this composition there is also a distinctive little grouping of trees breaking the horizon line. I liked the way in … Continue reading

O3 Gallery – The Harbour at Polperro below Chapel Hill
In this painting of Polperro, my focus is particularly on the arrangement of hillside cottages, backlit with a lemony glow of low sun. The harbour is shaded with soft blue and pink, the white of the boats reflecting the ambient … Continue reading

O3 Gallery – The Old Harbour Wall at Polperro
After the throng of St Ives in season, Polperro seems like an undiscovered tranquil location. Perhaps it is the more tightly constructed geography surrounding the harbour that protects it and promotes the feeling of shelter from the world. In this painting I … Continue reading
