Slow Down and Look

I am a full-time artist working at home in Stonehaven, N.E. Scotland: selling work as a painter, writer and maker both online and through local exhibitions.

I am trained but prefer to remain UNTAMED, Unframed, Unconstrained and Unconventional. Here you will see art in progress: you can buy my finished paintings etc through the gallery link on the right ~ Bern Ross

Experiments are the best!

Here are some of the latest pieces I've been working on.

This is called Ribbons of Waves and is just being shelved until I decide whether it's finished or not.



This little painting is oil on card and reminds me of something like '39 Steps'. It seems to be keeping well, given that it was an experiment.  Experiments are the best!
Ready for an experiment with sky and clouds, perhaps.


And here is the underpainting, the beginnings of an oil painting of a view from Morrone: one of the hills near Braemar.

Looking good, Bern. It looks like you're enjoying oils too. They're rather different from acrylics aren't they?

Yes, I like the stickiness. Used my fingers a lot here, especially on the sky. Looking forward to the foreground texture!
