Learning oil paints and watercolor

With my unexpected trip to Italy and then Christmas I have been a little absent here lately. Anyway, here's some of my favorite pieces I painted this year. Happy 2026 x

I'm beaten. I've been fiddling with this one for some time now and I can't get it right. Don't be fooled:the “digital” frame makes it look better than it is, maybe. Anyway, Le Valtin #village #france #vosges #acrylics

This is another doodle to use up some paint. If you are looking for an app to “frame” your work I think that FRAME IT is pretty good and the free option are just enough to give you an idea of how your work would look framed. BTW I have 0 involvement with the company 😊 #sketch

Same view as the other day, but,being alarmingly warm for February, I sketched it from my terrace

This is a watercolour version of my previous attempt at capturing Le Valtin, a lovely village near where I live. I think I prefer this one #watercolour #vosges #landscape

We've had more snow,now we're going through some very wet, dull days. Yet one can tell the trees are reawakening. Strangely giving off an autumnal vibe #landscape #watercolour

This is from a photo I took last week. Funny that's all gone now after a few days of rain and mild temperatures. Acrylics on board #acrylics #landscape #snow

A dangerous gang is running rampage in the neighborhood 😂😍

The bramblings are coming along. Now I need to work on the leaves, possibly the main branch. I wonder if I'll resist the “black highlight” temptation… #birds #bramblings #acrylics #art

And they are done! I've made the sky and the big branch a little lighter and added the veins to the leaves. I hope they'll come visiting again! #art #nature #acrylics

We are having some wonderful spring days. But the other day when I was walking Nitro it felt decisively autumnal. The forest is magical when misty.

Pine Marten. This was inspired by one of these creatures making a surprise visit on our terrace the other day. Strange considering it was the middle of the day and that he came to drink from the dog bowl when there are puddles pretty much everywhere ☺️
