River Stones (2) 6ins x 4.5ins Oil on board

This is another painting of river stones on the banks of the River Taff in Bute Park Cardiff. Actually I did this painting a day before the one I uploaded yesterday so technically it should be River Stones (1) but numbering paintings like that can get confusing, so maybe I should give them all the same title and think of them as a series.

River Stones 6ins x 4.5ins Oil on board

This is a painting of some river stones I found on the bank of the River Taff, a natural rock garden. I like painting these kind of subjects, although the stones have fallen together by a seeming randomness you do get quite an interesting natural order.

River Taff. 4ins x 6ins Oil on board

This is a painting of the River Taff as it courses it's way through Bute Park in Cardiff.

Actually I did this painting last Thursday the same day as the one I put up yesterday. I must have been on a bit of a roll.

That said I've been busy doing other things since and haven't felt so inspired to paint. I wonder sometimes whether a lot of artist have a slighly bi-polar moods when it comes to inspiration. Or maybe I needed a rest from painting fruit, hence the landscapes. :)

Saying that I have done a bit of painting every day and have a painting of some pears to put up soon, I did it over a week ago, but when I scanned it I noticed it needed a bit more work. It's funny how some paintings that look quite simple sometimes present more problems than something that looks really detailed.

This painting is 4ins x 6ins and is painted oil on board (Masonite)
