This is a selection of six Wiltshire & Swindon Greetings Cards.  Most of them were paintings or drawings completed on location.

 

  1. An ink and watercolour drawing of the church and the village green: this was the first time I visited Aldbourne to draw. I sat on the green and drew for a few hours in black and white, then added colour later at home.
  2. Oil painting of Aldbourne Band on the green at Aldbourne: This was the busiest crowd I had painted in front of at the time. Everyone was focused on the band until the interval, when I had quite a crowd to see what I was doing!
  3. Ink sketch of Aldbourne Band's Friends Concert in St Michael's Church: each year the band put a concert on for the Friends of Aldbourne Band.  I drew a sketch during the evening.  Later I added colour digitally, using scanned in drawings and painted papers.  I used the dark audience to frame the brightly lit stage area.  The colourful church adds contrast to the image.  
  4. An oil painting of the kitchen garden at Avebury Manor: this colourful garden within the National Trust property has been my focus for a few paintings and drawings.  I was drawn to this nasturtium-filled wheelbarrow last year, to add interest to the foreground. 
  5. An oil painting of the Orchard at Avebury: completed at home from photographs; I prepared for winter by photographing a few colourful scenes on a sunny day in December.  I liked the way the few remaining leaves caught the sun.    
  6. Oil painting of St Mark's and GWR Park in Swindon: this was my first oil painting on location, (February 2024) and I have done many since.  It was a warm enough day to sit outside.  Sunshine highlighted winter colour against the cool wintery sky.  

 

The cards are all A5 (148mm x 210mm) with matching envelopes
