Farmhouse on the Norfolk Broads

Farmhouse on the Norfolk Broads

I painted this one last year in March. The Norfolk Broads is a very inspiring location for painters. This picture has all the classic elements - farm and out buildings, trees welded to main focal point, cattle, meandering river to lead the eye into the picture, big sky, and fields. I focused on strong counter-change throughout the painting. 

Cloud Shadows over Ranworth Church, Norfolk

Ranworth Church, Norfolk Broads, England - 15" x 11"

This was painted on a watercolour workshop weekend in July led by Steve Hall. The location was the Norfolk Broads. I was pleased with the deep foreground shadows, counter-changed church roof with the dark tree, and the simple rendition of the red bricked building. The busy sky indicates the windy summer's day.
