Walking The Land - Journal
I love to walk and could not miss a chance to celebrate these walks via my abstract landscape paintings and sketches. The perspectives are micro, macro and vista. All views when walking or travelling about! These are small works on paper. Enjoy!

'Distant Barn' Watercolour Painting
Indigo is one of the best colours to paint with as it gives a dark and moody feel to the work.

'Indie Sky with Orange' Watercolour Painting
I havent done a lot of watercolour recently and wanted to pick it up again and remind myself what I loved about the medium. It's loose sketch capabilities are a def plus.

'Tree Berries' Land & Sky Acrylic Painting
This tiny oil painting on freeflowing canvas was a geat medium and surface to get down these berries you come across when walking in the neighbourhoods. At night the Xmas lights appear as shiny berries in the dark. All very festive and jolly!
21st December 2023 129

'Hallowed Tree' Land & Sky Acrylic Painting
This painting was inspired by a photograph of a walk. I was working out a watercolour process which I think worked as the photo was not as atmospheric and the tree has taken on a darker aspect than the tree in th pic.

'Pagan Tree' Land & Sky Mixed Media Painting
Most of my paintings here are experiments as I like to mess about and see what I get. This started out as a drip painting . Sort of obvious and to give it an absract quality it did not posess, I added a wash of grey gesso which mixed and became grey, works for me. The drips are great for creating twisted branches and the red symbolic of rituals and tribalism.

'Vista3' Land & Sky Oil Painting
There is a lot of open landscape with sheep and cattle still about. I like the abstract of the landscape with possibilities of life within.

'Vista2' Land & Sky Oil Painting
So it's getting a bit colder and the frost is starting to bite. I wanted to record the cold of the day. Symbolic blues and a wintry sky but the hope of some sun.

'Vista1' Land & Sky Oil Painting
This is a def vista. Liking the effects of oils in terms of landscape painting. You get a more in depth colour and the transluscent nature of oils enhances colour and gives a 3d effect.

'Lilac Sky' Oil Land & Sky Painting
I am loving the cloud formations. Some of them are crazy! I may have made them even more crazy but you know artistic licence is something. I dont want it to be just another cloud painting!

'Orange Sky with Purple' Oil Land & Sky Painting
Continuing today with the orange and purlpe skies. No two skies are ever alike. You could literally paint a sky a day!

#orangesunlight #abstract #skypainting
'Orange Cloud Reflections' Oil Land & Sky Painting
A lovely day to reflect. The sky is particularly interesting and I anted to emphasise the orange and violet in the sky and the blue beyond.

'Evening Woodland Walk' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Not as spooky as you think when you have some lights on nearby! Going with some traditional symbolism in the blues denoting the chill as you start out before you warm up.

'Midday Woodland Walk' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Incredible colours this time of year. I feel it's more like October than November. I used some experimental techs to create a vibrant but not overly poptastic painting!

'Morning Woodland Walk' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Drizzling but bright. Although I used acrylics here I favoured some watercolour type techiques that I have developed. Experimentation is always fun and you get some great results. Use of the drip in a non overt way.

'Island Cloud' Oil Landscape Painting
Usually sitting on the highest point somewhere. A hill or mountain. I can't really tell whether its one or the other. Perhaps a mountain is not easily climbable but a hill is? You can wander up the hill and stay there all day if you wish but at some point the clouds lift and it's a bit too hot to hang around. With this oil painting I wanted to emphasise the heat as well as the clouds. The hot and the cool, the Ying and the Yang. Something about balance.
22nd October 2023 69

'Island Geography' Acrylic Landscape Painting
The geography of a land is quite interesting to me. The differences and similarities between countries or counties even. There is always a little house or shack parked a distance from the road. The isolation of the place and the peace you would get from little traffic and even that at a distance. On the other hand you can be quite at peace and closed off to all noise if you listen only to what and who you choose to, via your headphones for instance!
21st October 2023 68
#headphones #geography #noise#art
'Island Walk' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Out and about walking the islands. The heat of the sun and the cool of the breeze. Sometimes its not blue skies. With this painting I also wanted to allude to motion and turbulence, reflecting my thoughts and that of many on the ongoing violence and injustice which continues in our 'civilised' world today..
20th October 2023 67
#reflecting #injustice#civilised #painting
'Aegean Flight' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Not a lot of walking when you are sitting but I couldn't not record my journey and the views of the landscape once you are up high enough. The sky is so blue and the land a muddy mark.
19th October 2023 66

'Aegean Summer' Acrylic Landscape Painting
The summer continues in Athens although not as hot as it was during July and August. The painting alludes to the heat of summer but also to the passions of the people in terms of justice and freedom. I walked in the student neighbourhoods but also the main streets alongside hundreds of people who gathered, marched and declared in a unified voice.
18th October 2023 65

'Aegean Waters' Acrylic Landscape Painting
The water is so clear on the Cyclades islands. Very inviting. The abstract painting alludes to the sea and the shore plants where you have an overall blue with pops of marble pebbles and grasses.

'Athens Park' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Having some great walks about the city with its fabulous architecure and historical ruins. Downside is, it's really built up and full of pollution but there is a bit of relief with the small park areas scattered about as well as the potted plants on the streets. What it needs are electric vehicles only!
16th October 2023 63

'Mediteranean Garden Athens' Acrylic Landscape Painting
All around the city are lovely flowering shrubs and plants. A lot in pots in doorways or just out on the street infront of apartments and buildings and certainly cafes and restaurants. You can't go everywhere in the city if you have access problems though as most of the pavements are quite up and down and not wide enough for a wheelchair. Even with a walking stick there is the possibility of tripping. And the pot plants are also in the way. But they do give a lovely atmosphere of a garden to the place.
15th October 2023 62
#garden #potplant #access
'Sensory Garden Athens' Acrylic Landscape Painting
I found myself walking by and through little pockets of garden shrubs and flowers. Lots of potted plants and arrangements as well as lovely shrub plants with fragrant colourful flowers. The painting is an abstract of colour and plantlike texture.
14th October 2023 61

'Athens' Watercolour Landscape Painting
Athens has a lovely mix of naturally occuring hills and mountains and man made concrete structures. Here I wanted to juxtapose the two most obvous elements of the city. Despite the searing heat of summer the hills appear quite green!

'Paros Winds' Watercolour Landscape Painting
The winds are picking up and lots of the summer crowd have left or are leaving. The island is still beautiful and sunny but maybe winds are hard to deal with. Certainly biking in the wind is a struggle. Economically the summer is great for the island but the winter, not so good. There is also a workforce shortage as they can't afford the holiday and air bnb prices that the owners of the properties charge as the pay doesn't tally. So there are lots of beautiful but empty properties and at the same time not enough housing to sustain the local working people.

'Paros Windmill' Ink Landscape Painting
Paros houses and buildings are little white cube shapes cut in and out of the landscape. Like nougat versions of lego perhaps. The Windmills a bit more distinctive but also with the white reflecting against the night sky.

'Paros flowers and shrubs' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
The land appears so dry and burnt in areas of the island but in the gardens there are some lovely little shrubs with flowers blooming bringing colour to the brown and grey landscape. I was particularly taken with a shrub and it's yellow flowers by a tree in the courtyard.
10th October 2023 57
#yellowt #courtyard #bushes
'Paros Trees' Ink Landscape Painting
Walking along past the bent over trees sculptured by the wind. A particulr garden has a couple of such trees and in other areas of the island too. The winds can be fierce. With this sketch painting I wanted to capture the early evening aspect with shadows and sunsetting sky.
9th October 2023 56

'Water Rocks Pebbles Paros' Oil Landscape Painting
The motion of the water moving the colourful marble pebbles up and down the water edge was the inspiration for the painting. Together with colour , a sense of motion was attempted.

'Paros docks' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
A little island surrounded by water has some cute bays and docks. There are so many interesting visuals to capture. The docks were the subject here and its all about the ambience of being just on the edge of the water with colourful boats moored nearby and sea front terraces behind.
7th October 2023 54
#seafront #terrace #boats
'Paros Beach' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
Beach walks are my favourite. Walking along the shore collecting little marble pebbles and taking in the views. Lots of lovely clear waters to walk through as you go along and lovely clean sand. On the hillsides houses with cobalt doors and windows. Telegraph poles and stone walls. I attempted to capture the essence of the walk via color and line.
6th October 2023 53

'Paros Hills' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
Just at the end of the season and the land is dry and burnt from the summer but there is still some colour to be had and a promise of the winds and chill just around the corner. A great place for walks and the beach. Depicted is inland terrain viewed when you jouney down to Parakiah on the bus.

'Aquarium' Acrylic Landscape Painting
The visuals of the painting suggested the title and an abstract way of thinking about landscape. Antique rose palette was used to emphasise the flora and fauna and of course the water found wherever you go.

'Woodland Camping' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Last chance to camp out before it gets cold. Usually it's freezing bu this time of year in the UK so I guess it's global warming, sadly. You really only think about climate change when you're out in it!

'Twilight Mauves' Acrylic Landscape Painting
More walks in North Devon. A not so steep hill with a tree line on the way up . Grabbing some colour before it gets dark. The trees had interesting light which gave a sculptural quality.

'North Devon Hill Climb' Mixed Media inc collage Landscape Painting
North Devon has some of the best walks up and down and along the hills of the coast. This view is climbing up towards the highest point/summit of the hill where you get panoramic views of the sea and the town inland.

'The Stream' Mixed Media Landscape Painting

'Subtle Pink Land' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
Local stream walk in the drizzle. A bit overgrown from the summer still with some lovely pinks here and there. Great painting inspiration. This is one of the first steps to creating abstract for me. This like many others will probably remain more of a landscape than total abstract.

'September Drive' Watercolour Landscape Painting
Inspired by atmospheric and moody weather as you drive along on a journey which started out quite sunny. Invariably the more interesting weather is the sudden casting of dark cloud and rain! Certainly more fun to paint.

'Last of the Summer Pinks' Watercolour Landscape Painting
Walking and taking in the lovely colours that are dotted here and there trying their best to hang on. Mostly pinks! And also the lovely birds that you get when you walk on the lake. How many did I spot? Mallard duck that was easy. Wigeon, also a duck, Coot, Moorhen, Great Crested Grebe, Blackbird, Cormorant, Grey Wagtail, Black Headed Gull, Long Tailed Tit and I heard a few too!

'Dark Skies' Watercolour Landscape Painting
Inspired by stormy weather. A nice walk but you have to be careful under the trees in case a branch decides to drop on you. This was also by the lakes. Getting some rain on me. No sun today! September weather I would say!
20th September 2023 37

'Across The Lake' Watercolour Landscape Painting
The landscape is in motion today. Lots of lovely windy weather blowing the trees and rain about. Quite energetic and dynamic. Visiting the lakes was a treat this morning. I tried to capture an abstract feeling of breath and air with this painting.

'Dusk' Landscape Painting
Evening walk inspiration where the light is going but the colours are still vibrant. They just get darker. A nice walking community of dog walkers at that time of day. So lots of lovely furry company and humans of course.

'Rock Pool' Landscape Painting
Inspired as I walked along the beach amongst the rocks and rocky outcrops. Pools of water called to me to wade and refresh my feet. It was a glorious day and lovely cool water. Later I climbed about on the rocks trying to avoid falling in the drink! It was great fun to sketch the experience while sitting about on the sand eating lunch!

'Dawn Field' Acrylic Landscape Painting
Getting out early for a walk is the best thing, especially just before the sun rises. You have that misty look to the landscape and also there is a sweetness in the air. Good to get them in before it starts getting dark early! Then painting up the experience is lovely.

'City Tree Line' Acrylic Inks & Gesso Landscape Painting
On my walk in to the studio I notice lots of greenery growing illegally! It's a shame it won't remain but its usually on a patch that is being redeveloped. There is a lovely silver birch growing at the back of some buildings on a scraggy patch with bins and all sorts round it. Poor thing. I hope it's allowed to remain once they decide to tidy!

'Blue Tree Silhouette' Acrylic Inks Landscape Painting
Walking out amongst the trees is such a peaceful and serene way of spending an afternoon. As its getting darker quicker already the trees become watery silhouettes and ok maybe they are not this lovely blue but you can have too much brown and TBH I prefer none!
14th September 2023 31

'Summer Floods' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
Floods after the rain can be spectacular and daunting. It often occurs although you somehow never expect it. With this small painting I wanted to record the flood plains viewed when you drive through the countryside roads which also become small lakes themselves.
13th September 2023 30

'Rainfog' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
Finally a rainy day after all the heat! I love the sun but not the extra heat although in the UK we should be grateful as it will probably be rainy and cold from here on in! I digress about the weather but the paintings are often about the weather on the landscape. Walking in the rain is a treat. With this painting I wanted to capture the early morning rain as the sun rises. You can't see the sun of course but you get a hazy foggy landscape. Colour has to be heightened somewhat. That's what artistic licence is all about!

'The Ruins' Mixed Media Landscape Painting
While visiting a National Trust heritage site recently, I came across some lovely old ruins. At the time I wasn't able to capture much on site as I was busy pottering about and hanging out with some friends, but back at the studio, I wanted to preserve the feeling of the visit. The history of these architectures are dubious and often negative but the good stuff is barely recorded and now their purpose has changed as they are preserved for a modern audience. Acknowledging the past especially negative stuff is important but that's all you can do. You can't change it. What you can change is the now and the future.

'Ledbury Landscape' Watercolour Painting
While visiting Ledbury and its lovely little art galleries, I took some time to wander about and absorb the small town atmosphere. No painting happened until I was on my way out. The countryside was so lovely I had to stop and pull out my watercolours!
10th September 2023 27

'Much Markle Summer' Watercolour Painting
A nice little jaunt around the Much Markle village. Lots to visually represent. My aim is to always extract an element of the landscape rather than the whole and sometimes it's what happens on the day. Might be completely different on another day. I like to keep the colour palette minimal! Today it indigo and yellow, which really work for me. The contrast of dark and light with pops of colour, to me, represent this really quite hot summers day!

'Trees On A Hill Putley' Watercolour Painting
Herefordshire has lots of lovely little villages you wouldn't know were there and lots of scenery as you travel along. I visited a few of the local places and mooched about with my watercolours taking in the colour, light and perhaps sun .
8th September 2023 25

'Kenilworth' Watercolour Painting
Kenilworth is one of my favourite places to visit. You have the castle of course a great national trust heritage building with lots of British history but there is also the parks and the surrounding countryside. Great for walking! There is a little bench in the park across from the castle which is great for painting or just relaxing and taking in the view.

'Woodland Walk' Watercolour Painting
Its lovely and shady in the woods and one of the best things to do is grab your paints and go for a walk amongst the shady trees. It's still hot especially if there isn't a breeze but on this day I had a lovely breezy watercolour walk, sketching. Watercolour is quite versatile in that you can take it anywhere and you dont get covered in paint.

'Walking Up Towards The Edge View'
Abstract Landscape Painting

You know when you have been hiking for a bit and the view is in site just over the ridge. You almost want to run up! But yes been hiking for an hour so its gonna be 'walk with anticipation'!

'Grey Sky Walk with Pink' Acrylic Painting
Another great walk early morning. TBH it wasn't too dull at all and the greys and pinks work so well together! The great thing about morning walks currently is that there is not a lot of traffic about or people on the way. Its pretty quiet. Coming back though yes its rush hour so you have to enjoy the moment while you can.

'Grey Sky Walk' Acrylic Painting
Often grey skies in Britain can be pretty dull but sometimes you get a really great sky with so much going on. Walking is a great way to experience the landscape and the sky!

'Walking at Twilight' Oil Painting
One of my Dorset walks at dusk. Just making my way back to the campsite after a day of adventures! There's still light in the sky with lots of ambient colours in the shrubbery, and when you shine your torch the colours are illuminated! #illumination

'Morning Walk' Oil painting
One of my favourite things to do is go for a morning walk. Particularly when I am out and about visiting different landscapes. I recently did a Devon and Dorset tour. This is one of the small paintings from a particularly lovely village walk.

'Grassy Plains Poppy Fields 29082315' Watercolour on paper
From a lovely walk when the poppies were out. They are only about for a very limited amount of time so you have to hurry if you want to see them. Next year hopefully now! But I can look back wistfully!

'Landscape Garden 28082314' Watercolour on paper
'Landscape Garden' is inspired by walking in the beautifully visual and sensory landscape which is full of lovely flowers, scents and greenery. In the summer there are loads of lovely things to look at and smell and touch.

I love taking my watercolours along with me on walks. A view along some hilly scrub caught my eye and ended up here!

'Gardenesque' Oil Painting
The painting celebrates the world as a garden. Colour and movement, and the constant changing weather we have in the UK, all sing together in the construction, when it comes to painting. This abstract landscape is developed over time using layers of paint, bringing forth some of what is hidden and emphasising the land in relation to the sky!
