Made with reference to sketches I made on location, and a lot of memory, as it’s a place I visit often on my sketching trips. The painting approximates the view from the bridge over one of the main land drains in the Holderness area of East Yorkshire.
“Shadows and reflections”. Acrylic and watercolor pencil on box canvas, 12×12 inches.
PLEASE how do I make these dreadful yellow things go away? OMG there's even more of the awful things now.

Forum projects: Plant Parade projects in the Florals/Botanicals forum , WDE in the All Media Art Events , Different Strokes in Acrylics forum .October 3, 2022 at 3:01 am #1487286Thanks each and all. It’s very clear that I don’t aim for accurate representation. But nor do I consider my work abstract—semi-abstract perhaps—but I think of my work as being more on the expressive spectrum.

Success is never found. Failure never fatal. Courage is the only thing.

Still much to paint and much to learn!
