2/ The underpainting was dry, so today I started putting a another lay on and where my lights and darks will go, while adding more details and depth.

I will leave the willow tree until the last. You can see at the left side I have highlighted some reeds with reflection. On the right side I have started the same. The water I have put a thin glaze giving depth to the water. The bottom right I have added texture and shape for the water lilies. Along the bottom I want to see through the water with sunlight shining to the bottom of the pond. 

Hope you enjoyed this one.

Started today on a new painting. I have been planning this one for quite a while. I think I will call this one "Reflections"  That if it goes OK.

I finished the underpainting today, so I will let it dry for a while.

It is a big painting 800x650mm. It took a lot oil paint just to do the underpainting.

Thank you please follow and keep watching. Michael.

3/ Now finished my take on Monets painting "The Magpie" With a cottage we lived in, in the country.     

This is an oil painting 700 x 500mm.   I hope you enjoyed watching this come together.                       

This painting with the colours will go well in our newly painted entrance hall.

Hope you will follow my next painting. Michael

The painting is where I spent my childhood. It is Saltaire, West Yorkshire. My family recognise it. So my memory is OK.   

This is the very first painting I did with my left hand. It took me some time. I practiced different texture. how to use brushes (which was difficult) etc. I found how to apply paint in different ways.
