The world would be a lot less interesting if all we see is what we are told to see. Maybe that’s what I love about painting and painters I love, that there’s a layer of reality that that’s hidden and it takes some prompting to discover.

So for this piece, what caught my eyes was the interaction between the water and the low hanging tree branches - I think I managed to capture the feeling there just a little ☺️

Really like the tree x water on this one after it has sunken in a bit. It was interesting painting this one on location next to the Ponte Vecchio. Some tourist came by and said disparagingly why i would paint “something like this 🫩” pointing at the other bridges and it took me a second to remember that not a lot of people can see the beauty and intrigue in things that the masses denoted as ordinary. 1/2 🧵

Finally did a marble statue! I suppose people are still my favorite subject to paint… portraits, figures #oilpainter #pleinair #pleinairpril #pleinairpainting #figuredrawing #florence #figure #MastoArt

Rebelle, 2025. I did these for #PleinAirpril - three virtual plein air studies, using screenshots from mapcrunch.com (a site that uses street view to enable you to go on a random world tour - it's fun!).

A digital painting of a Dutch park in autumn. Foliage in painterly orange, red and yellow brush strokes make up the background, along with some dark green firs and pines. Two large, low rhododendron bushes occupy the foreground, standing either side of a greyish, muddy path strewn with fallen leaves and tufts of short grass.

A digital painting of a verdant rural lane in a flat, Netherlands landscape. Small trees line the narrow grey road that curves off into the distance, with wide, empty fields on either side, under a blue sky spotted with wispy white clouds.

A digital painting of a long, straight road in a dry, flat African landscape. Small, dark green bushes sit sparsely amongst long, yellow grasses, all the way to some very distant, low hills on the horizon. The sky is streaked with a flat, thick cloud layer with some blue showing through in thin strips.

Azaleen. Toll. 🤗 Aber wenn zu viel los ist im Park, wird's nix. 😬 Azaleas. Great. But if the park is too busy, it won't work. #Dortmund #pleinAirpril #pleinair #uskdortmund #urbansketching #urbansketchers #ruralsketching #naturesketching #watercolor #FineArt #sketchbook #art #kleineKunstklasse

Three virtual plein air studies from screenshots of real places (seen on mapcrunch.com). Done in Rebelle. I didn't time them, but they're roughly around 3 hours or more each.
