Here is my work in progress, stage 3!  I have added more shading to the Eiffel Tower and blocked in the tree in the foreground!  I plan to add more vibrant colours to the tree to create a bit of sparkle but i had to leave it at this stage today due to the colours starting to become muddy!  The hazards of wet oil paint!

The Beginning Of A New Oil Painting!

I started my next oil painting today!  Having been away from the easel for far too long it was great to get back to my old friends the paintbrushes and to splash some colour around!

Painting Development!

I have done quite a bit more work on my oil painting today.  It's nearly at the stage where i can stop working on it but i think i might like to add a bit more colour to the background!  I'm going to live with it and see.  The paint will take quite a while to dry as i have applied it very thickly in places with a palette knife!

New Year! New Painting!

I started my first oil painting of 2014 today!  Quite happy with the base coat but still loads to be done!

Happy New Year!

What a year it has been and i have 11 brand new paintings to show for it!  I wonder what inspiration 2014 will bring? Happy new year everyone!

The White Tree

2013 has been a very good year for christineheyworth.co.uk  Seeing a re-vamp of the website and meeting lots of lovely and interesting people along the way and oh yes i think i have produced my best work to date!  So to go out on a high, here is "The white tree" painted in acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20".  Wishing you all the best in the new year!  See you in 2014! x

I was going to start a new oil painting today but unfortunately i got artists block so i decided to progress with the acrylic painting i started a couple of months ago!  Hopefully one more session and it will be finished in time to start a fresh in the new year!
