Two studies in oils with a few more to come. The lower one painted at Grange over Sands on a fresh summers day; well it felt more like early spring in Romsdalfjorden which is a warm 0 degrees. The top one inland on a great old bridleway overgrown and bursting with florabunda.

I'm finding that doing this kind of work in oil is more than enjoyable, the paint spreads like silk and this allows me to give myself over to the creative energy that drives me inside, its like flying on auto pilot without worrying that every things going to crash dry or that I may stray from the zone...oil is much more fun than acrylic..
