Painting with Hazel- High Birk Howe Farm in Little Langdale. Started the painting without a sketch so I had to move the building further apart.


Baxter's Wood and the River Browney near Durham City



Shell painting with Tricia McLaughlin at the Monday Art Group at Lanchester. Decided to add a beach scene to the composition. The Blast Beach looking across to Nose's Point and Seaham Harbour.



Stuck with what to paint at the Friendly Art Group so I asked one of the ladies for a number from 1 to 50 (sketch books) and a number from 1 to 65 (page numbers). 6 and 35 turned out to be Townend House in Troutbeck in Cumbria which I had drawn in July 97.



Second week with  Tricia McLaughlin was a seascape with a wet in wet sky.
My subject was Spital Point near Newbiggin-by-the-sea in Northumberland


Quink ink drawn with a kebab stick and washed with water to make the ink run. Initial wash was textured with cling film along the bottom and also used on the trees lifting slightly during drying. White Night Russian paints were used.
