I also finished this piece this week, another local landscape, featuring park benches, this time it’s Pittville Park.

I put the finishing touches to this landscape this week.
Some of the landscapes I am painting, like this one, feature benches. Thanks to Long Covid, I don’t do well with standing up while staying still, so a bench is always a welcome sign to me.

From snowdrops to bas relief.
I like to feel the shapes of leaves and flowers, to stroke grass heads, to feel the texture of bark. Bring sight-impaired, these tactile actions are part of my enjoyment of time in nature.
I am incorporating tactile elements in the local nature-inspired artworks I am creating. This includes bas reliefs of plants.

These are some work-in-progress shots of an acrylic painting I have been working on this week. It is based on a reference photo I took in Pittville Park last autumn on a beautifully sunny autumn day.

More dots! I really enjoyed painting this way today. It’s a meditative way of creating, and I like the dappled effect it creates. I’m sight-impaired, so the world’s all a bit of a blur to me, and this style suits me 😎
Video shows a dappled green dotted field with the trunks of several birch trees. I am painting darker dots to represent shadows cast by the trees.

Today I’m playing with dots, to paint a stand of birch trees up on Leckhampton Hill. These are the first few dots going down… I’ll show you where I get to later on.
Video of the bottom right corner of a white panel. I am painting dots of watercolour on it in soft yellow green - this will be an area of grass.

Bzzz!
I’m working on #landscape pieces at the moment, building a style that conveys something of the way I see as a #SightImpairedArtist.
These pieces combine abstracted expressive backgrounds with small elements of detail. They are inspired by local outdoor spaces in Cheltenham; this one by the bee hive in our back garden.
The bees on the left are blurred, in motion. The one on the right is almost hanging in the air just outside the hive entrance.
