Seascapes for the next show
all work copyright Vivien Blackburn
These are 2 of the framed works that will be going. Both done plein air in oil paint. They are on treated paper, so are framed as if for watercolours, with a 3inch matt and limed ash frame.
I love the different light and colour as the seasons, time and tide change. Nothing stays the same for long and it's necessary to paint fast. The first painting was the day after a really bad storm and high tide - there were intense deep blue skies and the wet sand was vivid colours, around us were damaged dunes and sea defences. The second was a warm April day, after a long cold early spring. It was bliss to be in the sun :)
I'm hoping to have some time to paint after I've delivered the work - so fingers crossed for good weather later this week :)

I'm up to my eyes in seascapes at the moment! and going to the coast in a couple of days :)
Looking forward to hearing about the new baby!
I have to got to deliver the paintings today - but the forecast is heavy rain - so it doesn't look as if I'll be able to paint at all :(
I'm dying to see the new baby! as yet it's still a bump - a very large bump!
