as part of my continuing langstone series this 10x11ins painting is a painting in progress
I have been painting over a old painting and this is fun because there is a history there and you build up more layers for texture.
This has now gone a bit to orangy for me but will be doing more work on it
I really will have to stop this one now as it works fine…basicly mixed media 7x4inches.
It has certain mystery about it
A grey and blustry sort of day with light showers of rain may seem a ideal sort of day to take photos but you can get some inspiration and it is good for monochrome studies
This shot of Langstone Mill and The Royal Oak taken from the bridge over to Hayling Isalnd where I was going for a little meander…..
Two seagulls not sure of the breed but they were busy feeding at low tide…..
A view of Langstone Mill again with boat this time……
A bit further along the bridge and the view now is of Warblington Castle and boats…all this time there is continuose traffic w izzing rto and fro from Hayling….
we made it to Hayling this is a view looking towards Portsmouth ……
a bit further along looking toward portsmouth still…its very blustery along here…..
a bit blurry but you cn make out portsmouth skyline Spiniker tower to your left…
amongst the brambles here……
A daisy who cannot resist a daisy?
Back to the other side again and another view of Langstone Mill and The Royal Oak
A map shows you where we are
The stream
Been spending a bit of time down at Langstone a lovely natural environment near to where I live
This shot is looking towards Hayling Island and possibly Thorney to the left
The horizon line is never more than @.5 miles away I seem to remember reading somewhere
This is a painting (7x5ins) that sort of is my take on the horizon line maybe at Langstone very grey and monochrome but that is part of the enviornment of Langstone sometimes.
The afternoon was hot and sunny in Chichester today,the blue of the sky and the old market cross make a splendid scene .
I could not resist taking a photo of this guy sketching he was right on the corner and had a cash dispensing machine right behind him, did not seem to bother him, do not think he was after money..
look at this splendid scene with the soaring spire nad the blue of the sky…
These flowers caught my eye in the Bishops Garden…
I like the angle here this was taken behind some iron railings…..
The stone floor is probably quite old as well….
I first met Martha Marshall when were over at Blogger back in 2007/8 . Blogger was behaving badly and Martha upt sticks and moved over to WordPress, i soon followed because i saw how nice her site was and there seemed to be no uploading problems with images
Martha is an Inspiring artist and creates wonderful abstract art which is full of colour and vibrancy. Her personalty seems to shine through these paintings.
At the moment she is recovering from her move from Florida to Tennessee and is setting up a new home and studio there along with her supportive husband,three cats and two dogs (I think I have got that right)
Martha produces these gorgeous collages
Super Dynamic work in progress
……and who can resist a artist at work
Martha i wish you well in your new home and long may you be happy there.

A rural scene a bit over romanticized perhaps te lady standing habd on hips the cow, the chickens and the dog, not forgetting the man by the fence, there are distant view of countryside, all making us want to be there, it could also be interretated as realist though I am not so sure.
This view of a coastal scene on the Isle of wight, caught my eye
This painting is of Capri and the white villa perhaps gives it away as a Mediterranean scene
Another painting showing Houses in Capri
….and finally this one though appears to be rather dark so not sure how it will show, but who can resist a Artists Sketching?
I think all of these paintings by Frederick,Lord Leighton, are wonderful and I hope you have enjoyed seeing them as well.
