Shelford Group of Artists Easter Exhibition 2013



On The Mud (Wells-next-the-Sea)
Watercolour on Paper
27cm x 30cm (6.5" x 12")

This is one of the pictures I am exhibiting in the Shelford Group of Artists Easter Exhibition.

I posted a version of the picture last April (see On the Mud). Since then it has had a radical haircut - Across the Trent suffered a similar fate before the 2012 exhibition (see Shelford Group of Artists Easter Exhibition 2012).

Choosing exhibits from the previous year's paintings is an enjoyable experience. It is a chance to reflect on each of the pictures. It is satisfying to find paintings that can be improved by re-cropping or by adding some finishing touches.

  

The other pictures I am exhibiting are:

• Storm Clouds Over the Maldives (see Limited Palette)
• Lost Sheep (see Sheep)
• Snow On Old Hill (see Winter Landscapes)
• Waiting For the Rain - Summer 2012
• Hurst Point Lighthouse (see Capturing the Light and Negative Painting)
• Peggy's Neighbours

Three of the pictures were painted in group meetings and four were painted at home.

The exhibition is in Shelford Village Hall (NG12 1EN) and is open between 10am and 4 pm on Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

If you get the chance, please pop in. I will be there between 10am and noon on Sunday.

Hyacinths (Work In Progress)
Watercolour on Paper
25cm x 34cm (10" x 13")

I've made some progress on the still life with hyacinth's (see Not Still Life)

The picture is at a make or break point. There are some important reflections and shadows to add to the bottle and then I have to decide how to finish it.
