Exhibition of paintings at Robinson -Gay Art Gallery, Hexham, Northumberland.

Some of my new Seascape paintings are being shown in Robinson-Gay Art Gallery in Hexham, Northumberland.
I am continuing to produce more of these paintings as the combined use of acrylic paint and pastels is such a joy. I find greater expressive freedom in this subject matter than in the production of cityscapes.

I've recently added a new gallery to my website called 'Sand Sea and Sky' which features a collection of paintings of various locations along the Northumbrian Coastline including Cullercoats, Tynemouth Longsands, and St Abb's Bay.

Working in pastels has given me a greater freedom to express subject matter such as the sea, which I feel I can now take into the medium of oil paint.

I plan to exhibit some of this work in this summer's art tour to be held by Network Artists North East.

'Coast' paintings

I have just completed a set of new pictures of some of my favourite areas of the North East coast. I have used pastels as they easily convey atmospheric perspective in colour,tone, and an interesting contrast between opaque and clear pigment.

These pictures are to be used in the Art Tour of 2013 held by Network Artists of Northumberland of which I am a member.

I will be exhibiting in this event with two other artists in the ''Shopping Mall ''at Whitley Bay.

 

Dates and times ;-  Sat 1st. and  Sun 2nd.,      8th and 9th.,       15th. and 16th.  June 

                               Between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.
