Large Gold Oil Paintings, I think I have found the love of my life!
London Thames gold leaf large oil painting for sale. You can see in this painting how the white gold captures the glint of the sun shining through the clouds. On the water the variety of golds really capture the feeling of the sun glistening off the Thames.
These really are such beautiful oil paintings embellished by real Gold leaf. I have used a mixture of Golds from 12ct up to 24ct to add tone and colour to the light in the large paintings. In places copper and silver have been used to add to the colour spread.
I always love to add light to the paintings and that is why I paint for the light and the love of light and colour. For years I added white and used a dark background to increase the effect of light on the canvas, to convey a sense of brightness.
Gold Leaf Ocean Sunset Oil Painting For Sale. This painting is still in progress, adding a glint across the top of the waves and shaping up the sun with some rich 24ct gold leaf.
Then two years ago I was in Courchevel 1850 and Megeve and I visited some of the very expensive art galleries in the french alps frequented by the flamboyant Russian clients. I fell in love in those galleries. They had a hue of gold and monied opulence which just seemed to hang in the air, so thick you could breathe it. It was tacky and it wasn’t over the top, it just glowed in a beautiful and reassuring way. It made you know it was there but it didn’t over power. Subtle beauty, but powerful.
I returned to my studio and invested in some gold leaf which I have looked at for over a year, and it was recently that I began to see how it would work in my paintings and i was inspired to use it to embellish my works.
Large Sailing Oil Painting with Gold Leaf For Sale. Perfectly beautiful, beautiful colourful boats and rich warm colours all sparkling as the sun glances across the ocean on leaves of gold.
The Gold leaf adds many new dimensions to the work. Its a metal instead of soft oil and canvas. It shines and reflects light and it forms different shapes to the brushes and knives I use. It can have soft edges, hard edges or just glistening speckles. There are different colours from white gold to pure 24ct gold.
What I love about it above the light is how it draws you in and reflects the light back. When you look at the painting from different angles and at different times of day it changes depending on how the light catches the gold. When the gold is bright the colours sit back a little and when the gold is reflecting less from another angle the colours come to the front more.
Large Gold Leaf Sailing Boat Sunset Painting For Sale. Rich deep and a little moody. Subtle colours and low light. Complex forms of light in the gold and deep blues and reds.
These are really special paintings and they do take a lot of time and thought to get them to work right so they are going to be a little more expensive. But compared to my trips around some of the more exclusive galleries of London Paris, South France and the Alps they are tremendously good value.
These new large oil paintings with gold leaf will officially go on sale on the web site towards December this year.

What’s in a name? These four beaches and their names conjure up so much magic. West facing flat beaches which lap up the waves into turquoise walls of pure heaven to ride and ride again. Soft Dunes and endless skies with their expansive views make these beaches a treasure.
These four beaches have been a source of inspiration for me ever since I moved to North Devon. My art studio is close to Saunton Sands beach and I live at Croyde so every day I get a taste of two of these stunning beaches.
I cycle around Down End, a unique headland every day, seeing the sun rise and set every day, as I round the headland from Croyde to Saunton and back again. In the evening, riding from Saunton Sands Hotel out to Down End point is a unique experience, with the coastline running all along the route, the waves and epic views running down the beach and the road appearing to melt into the setting sun in the distance.
Reflections at Saunton Sands Beach Large Oil Painting For Sale
On my way back to the studio in the morning, the view across Croyde beach is enlightening in the morning, getting the first glimpse of how the waves are shaping up. Then I climb up Down End above Saunton beach to see the tiny dots walking back and forth to the waves across the beach, and if I am early enough the sun and mist rising above the Braunton Burrows Dunes.
Even though I see this view every day I have to pull over in one of the lay bys just to admire the view once again. Even though you can see this stunning view as you drive ¼ mile along this stunning vista the lay-bys just invite a second look, even in the rain. Pick just the right spot and look out down the line along the curling waves and watch a few rollers with a few lucky surfers dancing. Then I cycle on past Saunton Sands Hotel and its all downhill to the studio just on the edge of Braunton.
Even after all those amazing views there is something about the studio that lifts my spirits. The studio is set in 7 acres of hay meadows just back from the sand dunes running down to Saunton beach. I bring back trees from around the world to plant out in the fields and there are a couple of new orchards I have planted. In my mind it is a modern version of a mini Victorian estate. It’s a kind of art project in its own right. When I bought the land it was 7 acres of flat fields to which I added the studio and began an extensive planting project which I add to very year. Open the window and if the surfs up you can hear the sound of the waves crashing and the sound bouncing off the dunes. So as I enter the gates to the studio I feel like I have walked into my own 3d canvas, a long term huge painting and sculpture which I have been working on over the last 6 years.
Woolacombe Beach huts Large Painting For Sale
Each of the beaches I treasure in this area have become projects in their own right and each year brings a focus onto a different beach. This year with the intense heat and still crystal clear turquoise waters I have found a real fondness for Down end and Barricane beaches which I have begun to photograph and no doubt will be painting later in the year.
Croyde Bay Oil Painting For Sale
Saunton Sands was the first beach I started to work on with its sharp reflections and expansive views. It is huge. When the tide goes out it leaves this thin film of water on the beach which gives a perfect mirror reflecting all those who stand above it. It is so sharp and clear that you appear to be floating on your own reflection. Take a photo on a good day and you can flip it upside down, so sharp you cannot tell which is you and which is your reflection. Interesting stuff to paint, not just visually, but from a philosophical and spiritual point of view. Working with reflections has its own deep and meaningful ways. This beach is vast and the waves can peel off beautifully down the line, a long borders heaven. Look straight down the waves as the waves and surfers line up right across to Appledore and Westward Ho! Then there are the beach huts, the headland, the Dunes and the sky, the list goes on.
Surf Painting at Saunton Beach for sale
Two years ago I was mad into Croyde beach. Totally different to Saunton. Slightly lighter sand a curvy bay and fast powerful waves. On a big break I still head to Saunton or Woolacombe, but if its smaller then Croyde can just pop some little miracles out. Waves and the shape of the bay are my big focus here. The waves here are a really neat shape, real curvy and punchy and were a basis for my big blue and turquoise wave paintings. I love Croyde because it is a perfect little bay and small village with some great view points and swimming holes. All this fun and atmosphere really helps me to paint all that fun and excitement into the paintings.
Last year and even more this year I have been painting Woolacombe. It’s got a lot of similar characteristics to Saunton with its vast length and sharp reflections. There are some fun beach huts at the top end which I have really loved painting. I did a really lovely large oil painting for sale of the huts 1.5m long which looks really amazing, sweeping views and it really sucks you into the painting.
Puttsborough to Woolacombe beach painting for sale
Woolacome beach is really growing on me at the moment. I love walking over to Putsborugh beach to have breakfast in the café, and cycling on up to Woolacombe from behind the dunes. If you surf then you get great waves here shaped somewhere inbetween Saunton and Croyde, with a bit more power but not enough to bury your head in the sand bar like at Croyde. Up and down the beach you can pick up a nice variety of waves to suite the conditions so for surfing this really gets the five star rating, especially when you add in Barricane beach and Combesgate beach .
Sunset Oil Painting for Sale from Woolacombe Beach or was it Saunton?Sunset Painting For Sale of Down End inbetween Saunton and Croyde Beaches
These four beaches are a real source of inspiration for my paintings. I have painted scenes from all of them from various angles and view points. What’s really important about this whole scene for me is the culmination of all of this influence, the surf cultures, the holiday feel, the freedom of the ocean and those expansive beaches, skies and views. Each beach is etched in my mind, the views, the colours, the sounds and smells, the atmosphere, reflections, waves. Then there are the sunsets, the soft dunes, the swaying grasses, the pounding noise of the surf and the salt spray. All of this is what I hold uppermost in my mind and this is what I hope is conveyed onto the canvas. There is really too much to put into words, the beach huts, and the stunning sunsets of yellow, pink and red. This corner of the world really is a painter’s paradise with so much colour and vibrant atmosphere to choose from.
Following in the Footsteps of the Beatles Painting the Energy of India
Pete Caswell is a famous artist who travels the world capturing the spiritual light, love and happiness of the places we love. The wonderful subcontinent of India has been a great source spiritual joy for Pete as he traveled around this enchanting country for over 20 years. It was here that Pete learned to paint in rural India, where his first exhibitions were held and where he sold his first paintings with chocolate cake and sweet Indian tea.
India Paintings for sale
India is a country unlike any other, chaotic, colourful and vibrant. It is the most spiritual country in the world both on the inside and the outside according to Pete. The rich tradition of spiritual hierarchy, masters, spiritual guides and organizations remain virtually intact from their origins thousands of years ago.
Sure Pete tells me, there is the usual mix of charlatans, pretenders and con men, but amongst the dust and chaos are some real and truly phenomenal places and people imbued with a hypnotic and captivating spiritual aura.
India Painting For sale
As well as the famous sites and temples reaching far back into ancient history, there are modern and new sites of spiritual significance developing within more recent times and they are quite amazing. Some of these place are new and fresh unlike some of the old which are strewn with karmic burdens of the crowds and all the usual trappings of a money making site. My favourite was a place called Meherabad in centre of rural India
India is a unique place. It has depths of poverty and suffering, and it has hideous extremes of wealth which are only too apparent. But this is the surface, the physical and at times overwhelming, but underneath this, and the unique mental attitude is what strikes you. You have to turn your head upside down here in order to function and drop some of your Western arrogance of mind and logical thinking.
India Painting Exhibition of Pete’s India paintings for sale at Meherabad in India
Pete started a painting project to capture the energy of these special sites. These sites convey an extreme sense of peace, oneness and inner quality of life. The sites are uplifting, provocative and are inspirational. They can help evoke in the visitor a new sense of purpose within life and lead you in new directions.
It is spiritual India where Pete studied painting and it is here where he grounded his inspiration and honed his skills. Pete seeks the depths of Love and spiritual sanctuary in his paintings. Just like the Beatles after their famous trip to Rishikesh Pete fills his work with the energy of this special country.
Pete’s latest painting project from India is called India Energy Paintings and they are a continuation of his previous works towards capturing the depths of life, it’s inner sanctuary and meaning which has been sought by so many throughout history. Its the focus of energy which we all strive for, to achieve happiness or more lasting inner happiness and contentment, or bliss and enlightenment.
Taking a beak from painting in Goa
When Pete lived in India he painted many of the Energy Paintings on the sites of significant spiritual energy. The most important of these for me was a place called Meherabad in rural central India, a beautiful estate set on the plains near Poona.
Pete says, “When I visit these sites I am in a wonderful space and my energy body dances to the tune of this uplifting and stimulating energy. When I paint the paintings at the site it is a truly wonderful experience, it is as if my mind is absorbed into the site, my spiritual energy is uplifted and the painting becomes quite automatic, fully inspired by the place and its reaction on the body. There is very little mind present in the painting and I am always quite ecstatic by the result.”
Pete was always surprised after he had painted the energy paintings many people would be drawn to visit his room to see the paintings. Even walking back to his room after painting he would have a hard job to hang onto the wet oil paintings. Many people seeing only a glimpse of the colourful work on the dirt path back to his quarters would instantly wish to buy the paintings, there and then.
Poetry and paintings book based on Pete’s India paintings trips
Pete explained, “The paintings shone so brightly to me in the powerful Indian light I really wasn’t ready to sell them. This was a real problem. My trips to India were about selling my work at various exhibitions and here were sales knocking on the door. How could I turn them down. In the end Pete gave into the pressure and and sold some of the paintings to some of the most persistent visitors.
Many of the paintings went to spiritually aware people who had inner sight or hearing and they bought them for use as a focus for mediation to see beyond the physical. Many of these people had inner hearing, they were quite tuned into the site at Meherabad and the spiritual master who had resided there until 1969. His tomb formed the centre of the large estate.
Living at these spiritual sites led to some unusual coincidences and meetings. People would turn up at the door asking about a painting they needed from Pete without knowing him or the paintings in the physical world. They would say their inner spiritual guide had led them to the door. “
Close up of India Painting for sale
When people turned up at the door guided only by their inner guide to ask for a painting, it was quite hard to say no, as you couldn’t really argue with this one, it was obviously meant to be and the request was obviously coming from higher up as they had no prior physical knowledge of me or the paintings.”
After completing the energy series Pete returned to the UK. After such a long stay in India he found it a real culture shock.
Close up of an India Painting For sale
When you arrive in India you get a culture shock. Then after a long stay in India you get settled in and India becomes the norm, the new reference point. When you return to the UK you get culture shock all over again. The two places are just so different, not just on the physical, but the way the mind works and the way you think is turned completely upside down.”
Pete returned to the UK with his energy paintings which were a record of his experience of the spiritual places he visited, in particular the time he lived at his favourite place, Meherabad in central India. For the next two years the Energy Paintings formed a base for a new series of paintings where he integrated the techniques and feelings he learned in India into his new series of paintings. These new paintings were based on the holiday resorts, sports and places we all love on a physical and emotional level. This would complete the circle bringing all of the feelings of joy and happiness in the physical and the spiritual into his art.
Pete’s paintings for sale can be found on the site. The paintings from India for sale can be viewed on this link – India Paintings for sale.
My paintings are all about the ultimate joy in life which we can feel. They work to try to capture the joy and feelings of upliftment which we al seek to find through whatever we are doing.
oil painting on canvas for sale, inspired by the starting line up for Caribbean RORC 600 race from last year in Antigua
We all love to have fun, enjoy life, smile and be happy. Behind these emotions is a beauty which we can access at these special and rare times of pure pleasure, in whatever place or activity it may be.
I have spent much of my life chasing this illusive and special beauty which we feel in our times of joy and happiness; from the Himalayas, to the Pacific islands, from hedonistic skiing in the alps to sailing and surfing in the Caribbean, from spiritual gurus to beautiful women, from sunning in the Indian Ocean to blissful meditating in the depths of Asia’s spiritual heritage.
Large Paintings For Sale
I have chased this nugget of gold all round the world and it has been a lot of fun, it’s a really great job to have to do, but someone has to!
I always have my camera or paint brush to hand to capture these moments of pure happiness. When I hit on a particularly rich seam of pleasure, happiness, joy and fun I rush in to capture its essence. In these images and especially the paintings I have strived to distil this illusive path to joy and pleasure into a concentrated form. In my paintings I have used special techniques of light and dark, sparkling colours, inspirational brush strokes, gold and silver leaf and everything else which can stimulate these feelings of upliftment and pleasure. I try to produce a link from beyond the physical to make images which replicate these feelings in the paintings, once I have returned home. Fun, joy, happiness and pleasure rule the waves and oceans, so take a look at the painting to see if it works for you. It does for me. I love my paintings, do you?

Pete Caswell’s Paintings For Sale, Style and Brush Strokes.
Colourful Oil Painting For Sale Sailing in Antigua
Pete Caswell’s paintings for sale are big and bold and full of colourful brush strokes. Most of the oil paintings are of a vibrant and bold impressionist style, emerging out of a sea of colourful strokes, dabs and lines. Sometimes only a colourful thin line, others thick and broad, laid as buttery paint onto the canvas or partly obscuring another stroke. This vibrant colourful layering creates a dance of colours on the canvas as they mix together in your eye to form the final image. They add an atmosphere of vibrant colourful light and joy to any room.
Large Paintings For Sale
“I hope the sense of joy is imbued in the paintings I have created for you to enjoy. They are for sale but you don’t have to buy one. Just enjoy.”
Some paintings are lavishly layered with thick butter like brush stroke of pure colour giving a superb texture. Some paintings have sub layers of texture over which a picture is painted. Other paintings are painted onto a smooth canvas/board allowing one colour to be laid thinly over another and the image etched back out of the painting. This technique works wonderfully with images of water laid over the sand, reflections and complex images of flowers.
Colourful Sunset Oil painting For Sale
Look at the bold placing of pure vibrant colour and the interlayering of brush strokes. One colour over another. Quite beautiful, vibrant and colourful. This layering of colour and compilation of colours and brush strokes leads to a more complex image which is more interesting to the eye. It makes for a brighter and more appealing painting which will hold the viewers interest for much longer. In some images it can take a while to see all that is hidden amongst the colours and quite often you can see things that I have yet to see.
The paintings are all about joy, pleasure, pure happiness, an expression of joy. There are no miserable bits, no exploring a hidden dark side or repressed childhood.
“This is all about pure unadulterated joy in as much depth, concentration and exuberation as I can get to flow off the end of the brush. However I can achieve this, and through whatever medium and technique, this is the absolute and only target of the work. If my work doesn’t make you feel good, I’ll give you your money back.”
Thick Brush Strokes on this Painting For Sale
All the works are intuitively created into a mesmerizing blend of colour combinations which fall off the brush and create onto the canvas an uplifting and captivating scene. This combination gives a moving and exciting feast for the eyes which will give you many years of interest and joy. The bigger the painting you can afford the better.
This combination of colours lifts the painting from a flat image to something which is more experiential by creating the image inside of the head instead of on the flat canvas. This gives a deeper and more interesting and stimulating image to look at.
Ski Paintings oil on canvas for sale
John Henderson an art expert who lives nearby comments,
“Pete’s work is a wonderful collage of light flicks of paint placed in a beautiful style of complete freedom combined with series of broken lines, all combining to form the full image which can often take several seconds or minutes in some of the deeper paintings. The paintings are centred around a main primary colour backed by a series of balancing secondary complimenting colours. Pete is a colourist pure and simple and in a class of his own in freedom and style. . While he sometimes describes himself as an impressionist his work is beyond the realms of impressionism. I see qualities in his work which evoke feelings an atmospheres of many great artists, especially Kokoschka, but to pin any one name on his work would be missing the point. This work is of a quality an freedom that is rarely seen. My only advice is to buy these paintings while they remain affordable. They can only appreciate in value. Good Luck in your work”.
