I have an image of my latest finished painting, a 1200 x 900 oil painting on canvas, called ‘North York Moors’. I was still trying to capture that feeling of history and wonderment about everyone that may have walked over this land over hundrends of years. Continue reading North York Moors
I’ve finished two new paintings and very pleased with both of them. The smaller one, Hauptallee, is pictured here and I’ll have the other image for you soon.
