Yesterday after looking at some photos from my journey up North last year I simply had to do a landscape.

Lovely weather today so I finally got to mow some the lawn. Very much overdue. More to follow tomorrow. Tonight I have had a great time remembering about my trip along the coast of Northern Norday this summer which resulted in this painting. I hope you like it.

All my visits to art galleries this summer have given me so much more confidence in daring to believe in my own style and how I choose to interprete my impressions of life and nature. I hope you too like how I see and show you my love for the bare landscape of the North.

Jack Buther Yeats is one of the painters whose work I had an opportunity to watch live while visiting Dublin and Sligo in Ireland this summer. He like me, worked in several mediums and styles, illlustraitons and cartooons, landscapes and figures and also much of his work was symbolic and expressionistic.
One of the interesting things which made his oils very distinctive was that his canvas seemed to be unprimed and also was left uncovered by paint several places quite like how a watercolourist does. One possible reason for this can be that he used watercolours much longer than oils and that was what he started using. Seeing his work and finding out more about this artist was a help for me because I have been struggling quite much with feelings that I should work in a manner of the majority and using techniques thought of as neccessary for artistic quality by so many.
Seeing one of Europe's most valued artists breaking some of those "rules" allowed me to allow myself to dare to work as I want and not as I feel I should. This is very good for me because I nearly gave up painting this summer.
