a late spring offering

Posted by Stephen on April 11, 2010 under Art, painting, watercolor, watercolour | 14 Comments to Read

Here is a late offering for Ryan’s challenge – well – it is Autumn here – though Autumn and Winter are really quite mild compared with what you my Northern Cousins experience.  I did two and would love to do more.  Here is the first, which I did last night:

And here is the second which I did today after reading two chapters from “The Enthusiastic Employee”  towards my research.

I am not sure how firm he will be about the deadline – but I wanted to do this before coming to see all the other work.

Big day tomorrow but if there is enough light later I will take better photos and post them – otherwise the next day

    They are so lovely. I like the way they fill the page and spill beyond. We are also in Autumn in Australia, and the days are lovely. Surfers love this time of year.
    Cheers,
    Erin

    Love these. They are loose and seem to glow and be full of movement.

    (o: – I still didn’t get quite what I wanted but had to move on. It is so cool that Matt (TH) comments on your blog.

    This is nice, Stephen, but it is so strange to see flowers after all the landscapes. Feels like I’m on the wrong blog. : )

  • Stephen said,

    Hi Cecily – it was fun to do these – I may give flowers another go soon. Nice to see you – S

    Nice and loose, Stephen; and great use of complimentary colours.

    Hi K – thanks hey – how is Spring coming along your side?

  • CarolKing said,

    I hope you’re in that studio working on more videos!

  • Stephen said,

    Hi CK – I started looking through the video of the painting in Betty’s Bay but I think it is too pedestrian – and overworked – I may do a video of the first half or something – but time is not on my side at this stage. I hope you are creating more beautiful, sensitive works – in fact I am coming over to look shortly
