St.Paul's V

As you can see, I am trying out different styles again. Seems I can't decide on one, because each approach offers other challenges, other things to learn and study.
This will be my last of the St.Paul's series and I am not unhappy with it.

Lights in Bedford Square

As the days get shorter, lights are switched on earlier - allowing a look into flats and offices with vast rooms and sparkling chandeliers hanging from high ceilings. Such beautiful, warm light!I think, nowadays most of the houses on Bedford Square unfortunately are only offices. But how great must it have been for the people who lived there before the centre of London was taken over by business mainly!

Late Afternoon in Autumn

It is getting dark earlier everyday now and we have to turn on our lamps in the afternoon already. I like this time of year (actually I like all times of the year), when we retreat into our cosy nest, light a fire in the fireplace and enjoy the blues outside and the warm yellows and oranges inside.

Initially I had planned to paint some more of our tins, but then I found these nice mushrooms just outside my kitchen door this morning and changed my mind.
The little ceramic plate was made by my friend Jaqueline - it is simple but at the same time very special because it has a beautiful midnight blue glaze, which unfortunately doesn't show here.

Startet this one yesterday afternoon and left it looking quite different than now, thinking it was more or less finished..
Today though, I changed nearly everything and like it much better than before.
Nevertheless I'm not sure it was worth so many hours of work! Sometimes it's better to just start a new painting!

It's become really cold here suddenly - this morning -2° celsius which is below freezing point! So the colours of the leaves are changing and offer wonderful painting subject!

Our garden with view into the valley and rolling hills on the other side.
I am trying and enjoying to keep the paint more fluid and plan on doing more landscapes for a while. But then - I don't always stick to my plans...

One of our last lunches outside - the days are getting shorter and cooler (just a little bit). As the sun has already wandered to the other side of the house, we drink our after lunch coffee there - might paint that tomorrow...

The amazingly beautiful weather we are blessed with here at the moment allows us to still have lunch outside - and just then the sunlight shines through the leaves of the vine growing along the wall of our house. From my place at the table, I then enjoy this lovely view!

On our property there are two buildings, the main house and a big barn, between them a flight of stairs leading to the terrace. In the evening that is where the last rays of sunlight shine through and create a wonderful, pastoral atmosphere, as you can see in this picture. The weather here at the moment is absolutely fantastic!

This is one of our favourite spots to sit and have lunch whilst enjoying the lovely view down into the valley - but now it has quite suddenly become too cold to do so - autumn is taking over. Now we just enjoy the new colours appearing in nature!
