Street in Morocco at dusk

Street in Morocco at dusk (Tauroudant)
Image size 50 x 60cm Oil on canvas

I have changed the central figure to a woman wearing a turquoise costume. The sun quickly went behind Tauroudant's city wall.
In the background was a small square where goods were traded to the locals. To the left of this figure was Bab Zorgane (an arched gateway) leading to the bus station beyond the city wall.

This is my initial sketched in oil painting , now I can see how to progress to the finished painting. I am happy with the light and shade values at this stage.

Vision 2

Vision 2  Oil on canvas 31 x 61 cm 2015 

This painting was painted as an abstract but I can see a landscape in some form. The deep
blues are made using Cobalt blue, Ultramarine, Cobalt Violet (Sennelier) and Violet Windsor (a strong purple).

Bath Abbey late summer evening

Bath Abbey late summer evening No 24

This is number 24 of my series of 31 canvases which I have just completed. I didn't think I would get this far and now the end is in sight. I have only got 7 left to  paint.
I envisage four of these will be larger canvas (100 x 80 cm) dimensions and showing a particular series of the sun rising towards the top of the abbey and virtually disappearing in a 5 hour time span towards dusk.
If any one wants to commission these for their company or lobby that would be cool.

Bath skyline from Alexander Park

Sketch from Alexander Park in Bath . I was careful to put in the various churches details ready for my next painting in my Bath skyline painting series. The railings were useful to rest the A3 sketchpad on.
