I have a lot of love for #leighwoods as can be seen by the number of paintings that I’ve done of the place. The meadow is adjacent to the woods and it would be a shame for it to be commercialised in such a way. Plus the road there can’t sustain the amount of traffic that would get generated.
The company who are called Roots Allotments are acting in a common letwly cavalier and offenave fashion, not caring for the environment and only concerned with profits. #bristol #leighwoods #allotments #greed

Welp, it didn’t come out as I expected, and I am disappointed, but it is a painting. I think where I went wrong is to use too many colours and to not go dark enough. But we live and learn. I will redo this painting and show you the next attempt, we all learn together! #gouache #painting #leighwoods

Marked for destruction. We often see these orange markers on the trees, these are the ones marked for felling. It makes me sad to think that one day soon this tree wont be here. #leighwoods #trees #ice #xe2 #photography

At the end of our daily walk we get back to this place near the entrance. By this time we are done walking ! #leighwoods #photography #xe2

OK so it's another path into the woods painted in watercolour. I know, I've done a lot of them this year, but this has to be done and then once I'm done with paths, I can do something else. #MastoArt #Watercolour #Painting #LeighWoods

Some of you may wonder why I post so many paintings of Leigh Woods. There are several reasons. One is I was gifted membership of the place a year or so ago so want to ensure that we get all of the value of that. Second, Barney needs to walk every day so we go there later in the day & he does his stuff & we walk and talk. Third I like the place despite the ghost stories.
This was painted earlier in August, in oils on canvas panel. #MastoArt #oil #painting #leighwoods
