Acrylic Flowers in Water

Forgive me if I have posted this before, I'm not quite sure this one exactly, but I rather like this so here it is again! Acrylic on canvas with much sloshing of water on top, layer by layer. Original measured around 28" x 22" can't quite remember exactly! I painted this series of flowers about four years ago.

Society

Part of my figures in landscape theme for which I am best known, this series, entitled 'Society in the Square in yellow' was a favourite and one of four bought by a client. Ah, those were the days...only four years ago...where HAS the market gone?

Work in Progress - 10 years

Thought you might like to see a work in progress for a change. It's running along in the background whilst I'm also doing watercolour sketches. This one is in watercolour too, as you see, and is Bepton Road, Midhurst, W. Sussex. Very close to where I used to live. Yep I started it around ten years ago, picked it up recently and am carrying it on. When finished, it'll be the most ludicrous time I've taken to complete a painting.

Tewkesbury Sketched

Okay so i've started painting again after a long break! This one is a watercolour of Tewkesbury, one year after the floods, the town filled with people celebrating the fact that most of the buildings are now refurbished and that Tewkesbury is up and running as an interesting and historic place to visit.

This original watercolour available to bloggers or visitors here at the unheard of price of £40. lol! Email me if interested to purchase. Measures 7" x 7".

Art in Miniature by Lynn

I found a photo of the miniatures i used to paint. I'd love to do some more actually - when i get the time. This is a truly awful photo of course but it might give you some idea. They are painted on ivory paper with tiny brushes, some consisting of only a few hairs. Acrylic paint is used. The larger one on the left is of Samuel Pepys. It measures roughly 3" x 2". The top one of artist John Constable, and measures around 2" x 1 1/4" the third was an attempt at a Da Vinci if i remember correctly. Hope you enjoy them.

Bert's Birthday

Peter very kindly asked for a new post and something recent. I haven't painted for ages really Peter, apart from private commissions. Instead, as it's my birthday today i thought i'd post this. Entitled 'Bert's Birthday', it's one of eight illustrations for a children's book i wrote. It's about Bert, pictured here, who wonders what it's like to see from all the way up there in the house. His friend Tom, another mouse, arranges a surprise so they can secretly climb into the farmer's pocket, which is very scary indeed lest he should find them. They travel upstairs in this way and finally see the view from the top of the house. I can't lay my hands on the other illustrations right now, but will find them soon and post them here.

Dark Blue Flower

Having been kindly pressed by some to upload some more work, i oblige with this, an acrylic on board. I painted it in 2005 and have done very little new pieces since then. As soon as i do, i will post them here. I like the simplicity of this series, the way the flowers grow out of the edges. I hope you do too.

I am using some of the images on products available to buy now. A little experiment. See at the bottom of the page!

Art by Lynn

Sorry haven't posted a new painting for a while, i will soon i hope.

Watercolour church

London Sketch for Coby

A quick watercolour sketch here, to bring back memories for Coby. We spent a very enjoyable day in London together many, many years ago when we were so young!

Cottages in Midhurst

Illustrative and somewhat naive art, i saw this as a children's book cover. Obviously i was the only one who did since it didn't sell as such - yet.

Young Men

Twenty Today - Arthur !

My son, depicted here, aged 7, in a watercolour sketch is all grown up now and is twenty today! Needless to say, i am very, very proud of him. He's very busy, leading an independent life at University studying Computing.

Flag - Figures in Landscape - Lynn

This is one of my figures in landscape designs. They represent different areas of society, travelling through life which is symbolised in the horizontal brushstrokes rushing past in the background. I like the child in the front waving a flag. It is now one of my favourite paintings, though i was close to throwing it away when i completed it. Someone stopped me from doing so and I'm grateful for that. Thank you. He knows who he is.

fruit and wine
