ETSY Listing

Well I have dipped my toe in the waters of sales!
Though I would try listing a painting on ETSY to see how it works and to see what sort of response I get.

I have listed my Southerndown painting as;

Southerndown After the Storm

Tree of Life! Yggdrasil

Nice to try a new technique for me.
Oil Paints greatly thinned down with turpentine, I have been working on several autumn treescape paintings, this is the only lone tree for the moment.
With all the Norse / Celtic tattoo work I have been having it seems fitting to call this one Tree of Life! Yggdrasil.
All work view-able through http://www.nicholasjohnart.com

Complete work 08/09/2016

Progression work

Website - Nicholas John Art.com

It seems that as the summer draws to an end I have more time on my hands for my paintings.

To get ready for my new works I have revamped my Website;

http://www.nicholasjohnart.com

I currently have two works in progress, both of which are Autumn Trees.

Two very different techniques have been employed to create these works.

1. Pallet Knife

Thick layers of oil paint have been added to the canvas to create the current back ground for a Birch Grove with sunlight through from behind the trees Autumn leaves pending

2. Thin layers of Oil Paint

Oil Paint which has been greatly watered down with turpentine looking to create a colourful impressionist art work

All works can be viewed through the website as well as the blog page

Seascapes

Seascape Paintings

Well its been a little while since I last posted .... 
                                                                          ...... or painted for that matter!!!!

I guess this living by the Seaside has too many distractions to allow me the time, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

After The Storm Painting 40 x 60 inches

Southerndown Painting 16 x 20 inches

Stormy Sea

Following on from my Southerndown painting, I thought I would like to carry on the sea theme.
After all I see the sea on a daily basis so it is forming a big part of my life now!

So the next painting is a large canvas 30 x 40 inch Stormy Sea
