These two new oil paintings represent a change in progress for me. The first is how I've been working for a while but the second I feel like I've breached something else. Maybe it's the more intimate position of viewer to the environment, closer and more textural. What ever it is that is different I feel like I'm much happier with this work than anything I've done for a long time.
This next week I'm going to go back to making some textured silk shawl/scarf lengths, so lots of fun dyeing.
Hope all is well in blog world and you are happy with your snow fall ;)

I'm not surprised that you're pleased; it's beautiful!
Absolutely stunning. Beautiful. The second one feels a lot looser? It has a lot of movement in it as well as texture. You must be very pleased!
Beautiful. Good to see you back to painting :)
Great work, Helen, I love the atmosphere in the top one, you've given it so much movement and wonderful colours.
Oh Helen,
Once again you take my breath away! I thought Constable and then I thought no not at all that's a Turner sky. The drama and you didn't even have to add a burning ship, lol. What else can I say, you have not only mastered your medium completely but your subject is under your spell too! Keep Warm up there, Regards Tricia x
Love these paintings. Look forward to seeing the scarf lengths too.
Best wishes

I love both of them Helen. I would find it very hard to choose but as you say... they are very different.
