Landscape Memories

Landscape memories are stored and grouped in the subconscious. They appear as seascapes, farmlands, mountains, forests  and moors. They provide inspiration for many paintings. The following two paintings are memorials to travels in Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, Newfoundland and Ontario.

Farmhouse


Bathed in Sunlight


Both paintings used Terraskin as a support. This is a material of which I am growing to appreciate. A word to the wise, however when framing in glass with Terraskin- this material is heavier than watercolour paper and requires additional anchoring to the mat, or slippage can occur.
