The Avon, Bath on a sunny winter day

Last Saturday I went painting just a short walk from my flat alongside the Avon. It was a beautiful sunny day and the opportunity to try for the first time my new pochade box which I ordered specially from the USA (I'm such a nerd aren't I).

The Avon, Bath on a  sunny winter day    oil on board   14"x10"

As I was painting, a kid passing by told me (with a strong local accent) "you shouldn't paint the bridge, it's a horrible bridge." I'm afraid I didn't follow his advice and did find it rather interesting to paint and was pleased to include it in the painting!

    I LOVED Bath and thought the bridge was majestic. I would love to be painting there!! Your plein air work is execellent.

    Valerie,
    I went back and looked at your past works. I love them, really. I like how you show the photograph and the painting. You do an amazing job of editing out what isn't important and keeping what makes a great painting. I signed up to follow your blog and look forward to looking again at your older works and seeing your new ones.
