Croyde Oil Paintings For Sale

Croyde Beach Oil Painting at sunset

Croyde Oil Paintings For Sale.

I have just completed a beautiful pair of paintings of Croyde bay which will be made into a framed limited edition print set of 20 later in the Autumn. These original oil paintings will be for sale later in the year when they have dried. They are about 1.2 metres across and 0.6m high framed with a white block frame. These two paintings are most interesting capturing the feelings and atmosphere of the bay in such stunning colours and textures using palette knife techniques. They are a composition of images from a few similar view points to get the painting to work to its fullest and capture the eye and imagination.

New Large Sunset Painting For Sale

Very Large Paintings For Sale of Sunsets

New Large Sunset Painting For Sale

Large very colourful oi painting for sale framed and packed in this card box ready to ship for freeAs One Paintings gets shipped out so another is just about ready. The large sunset painting on the wall of the studio is all complete and framed up ready for everyone to have a look at it. It is 1.5m wide by 1.0m high and framed with a high quality just off white block frame. Its about the same size as the one in the box ready to ship which you can see in the photo. The price of £750 includes shipping in the UK and parts of Europe and the frame. If you are interested in commissioning a large painting email Pete. This painting has been specially created to give you a bright and happy feeling with the sun and light drawing you into the centre of the painting, using a combination of colour and light to give you an uplifting effect.

This sunset painting is based on a West coast sunset from North Devon UK near the studio. The studio is very near to the ocean which lends a big influence to the paintings. Every day I cycle into the rising sun in the morning and the setting sun on the headland on the way to the studio to paint. This constant exposure to the sunsets and sun rises over the ocean lends itself beautifully to these large sunset oil paintings.

 

I use bold colour to its utmost to fill the paintings with a sense of joy and light. Combinations of bright colours in their pure form create vibrant memorable images. Pinks turquoises, blues and yellows work to construct an impression of the scene which captures not just the visual but much of the joy, energy and feelings to captivate the viewer. These large paintings are becoming a popular choice for collectors of art and paintings around the world.

Skiing Snowboard Paintings for sale by commission

Verbier Ski Painting For Sale

Skiing Snowboard Paintings for sale by commission

Take a look at the painting process for the skiing snowboard paintings for sale by commission to personalise your skiing snowboard painting to include yourself in your favourite scene.

Last winter I had the most fabulous time painting a ski painting commission, a lot of fun because it was a real challenge. I got an email from an Irish man working in Japan who wanted a ski painting for a present for his wife who was still back in Ireland. The painting was on the glacier above Val d’Isere, a stunning place on top of the word. I have thousands of photos I use as reference for ski paintings of runs in a lot of the top European Ski resorts, especially the highest runs. But this one eluded me. Of the 1000 photos I had of Tignes and Val d’Isere, one of my top favourite ski areas, I could not find anything on this run.

I asked the client if he had any images of the runs on the Glacier. No luck so I had to piece it together from memory. I had skied the glacier many times in December and the weather had not been so kind with mostly blizzards and low cloud. I could remember the runs down in the gullies and the off piste pipes under the chair and a picture slowly emerged in my mind. Several days later I had a more or less full recollectionn of the scene and managed to pin down the area where the painting was to be. It was low down on one of the runs where the client had proposed to his wife many years ago, but no photos of this event existed . Many emails were exchanged and I built up a picture of the time of day the weather and where they were on the run. If you have skied this run, then you know it is quite a featureless area and with a dump of fresh powder the night before there was not much in the scene that I could work with. I need people, strong landmarks and contrast to make scenes work well. This was devoid of everything I use to make an interesting ski painting. The texture and colours hidden in the snow were going to be the making of the painting and expansiveness of the scene relative to the people.

The final email before I started painting was an amusing mock up photo of the male client proposing to his male work colleague so I could get the positioning of him and his wife right. A few photos of him and his wife in their ski gear at that time were the final clues I needed before I started.

This was such a tricky painting that I did not ask for a deposit as I wasn’t sure if it would work and I didn’t want the pressure of having a commitment to get it right so the deal was – if you like it you can buy it and if not no problem. It turned out to be so much fun to do as the client was very helpful in advising alterations to get the scene just as he remembered it.

The last job I had to do was to check what his wife’s favourite colours were to make sure she would at least like the colour scheme. Baby blue and baby pink were the colours so this would serve as part of the underlay of the painting with the white snow on top.

 

First the sketch to get the colours and layout as the client remembered it.
