Sun between the clouds, Queen Square, Bath

Now the show is over, I've had the chance to get back at the easel and it feels great! This one below is a painting of Queen Square in Bath. I work just around the corner from there and always admire the beautiful buildings when I walk pass, and it looks specially beautiful when it is sunny. Here is the result:

Detail

Here is below one of the original photographs reference taken on the spot. As usual, I decided to keep it loose and not get lost into details.

I've been focusing lately on paintings of Bath as I'm preparing to enter this year's Bath Prize. (click here for more info). The show will run in September and I will give more details closer to the date.

Meanwhile, there is a "Pre-Bath Prize" show running now with a selection of work from the previous winners and highly commended artists and I'm delighted to announce I have several paintings on display. There are also some lovely paintings from fellow talented painters Tim King and David Pilgrim. The venue is situated in the Centre of Bath (34 Stall Street, BA1 1QG - click here for the map) and the show will run for a couple of weeks so feel free to have a look if you are in Bath.
