St. Peter’s Church at Upper Slaughter

January 28, 2020.Reading time 1 minute.

After a series of boaty posts here is a view of St. Peter’s Church at Upper Slaughter in the Cotswolds. A slightly different approach for me but I quite like the ‘spiky’ trees and grassy bank on this one. Upper Slaughter is a picturesque village not too far from Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. Beyond the church […]

Two boats at Sennen Cove, Cornwall

January 25, 2020.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Another study of a couple of smaller fishing boats, pulled out on the slipway and next to the lifeboat station, with the old winding house in the background.

Experimenting a little today. Here’s my watercolour of one of the entrances to the Oxford Indoor Market (otherwise known as The Covered Market). This is one of a series from around the city, but I’d thought I’d have a go at that roof structure – not easy to do but worth it – If you […]
