New Landscape ...with stone walls...

The stone walls used to keep livestock in the pastures (here in the UK), have been used for 100's of years...I painted this landscape using the stone walls as the focus element with some other English landscape elements. I've kept the composition simple to draw attention to the shapes as opposed to slavish detail...which afflicts me from time to time...oil on canvas.

Rosemary Topping , North East England. Oil on board.

Painted on board, primed in black, to see the difference to my working style and method....seems to dry the oil out faster....will pass a full comment when the work is complete.below some stages today from start to 3/4 complete.

Have felt better today with painting , the last few weeks have been a struggle, with much on my mind....if you are not in the creative zone , I've realised its better to be doing something else.....
