Lanhydrock and Pencarrow Gardens – New Paintings

Wisteria Arch at Pencarrow

Paintings from last summer – the gardens of both Lanhydrock and of Pencarrow near Bodmin provided such inspiration. I had Adel pose in dreamy settings – dappled sunlight patches under the giant rhododendrons or sat on a rustic bench with the reflected light shining off the new green grass, or, as here, underneath the cupola at Pencarrow which must have one of the largest wisteria I have ever seen.

Working in Series

Fish Cellars, Port Isaac

Paintings of Port Isaac, Tintagel, Bossiney, Boscastle , Bedruthan Steps and of course Trebarwith. I enjoy working in series on showing aspects of different locations, although my access to good viewpoints is often limited. This summer I have indulged myself, painting a series of Adel among the flowers at Lanhydrock and Pencarrow gardens. I will post these soon.

Buckinghamshire Landscapes

Landscape near Nether Winchendon

Please don’t forget there are many delicious paintings of scenes and seasons in Buckinghamshire to be found on the Works page under Landscapes Spring/Summer and Autumn Winter. I still have very many happy memories of exploring and wandering among the fields in the Vale finding inspiration in so many aspects of nature.

Bluebell Woods near Lanhydrock - 20" x 30"

Some of the latest projects I have been working on over the last few months are now on view in the New Paintings album on the Works page. These include a series of Bluebell Woods, mostly painted in the Great Wood at Lanhydrock, where I can still venture with my mobility scooter. There are a couple of paintings of a Lavender farm in Devon – not your usual Lavender in Provence type painting but instead under English grey skies. I have also really enjoyed painting aspects of Port Isaac, Tintagel and the cliffs at Bossiney by Rocky Valley.

New Boscastle Paintings

Misty Morning, Boscastle - 32" x 26"

I have just uploaded my new series of Boscastle Harbour paintings. Most concentrate on the wonderful winter sun lighting up the hillside in glorious harmonies of gold, reflecting in the water within the harbour at low tide. The patches of sand and seaweed also revealed at low tide make interesting horizontal accents to break up the reflections. My Misty Morning painting is an exploration of rich harmonies in hot oranges and reds softened with mauves and bright cobalt blues in the shadows.

On the Geirangerfjord - 24" x 30"

I am adding some paintings to the Clearance section of the Website. These are half price or less. Please do take a look.

Newest Paintings now on website

Dugald — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:30:45 +0000

We have created two new albums of paintings in the Works section – The New Paintings album shows the very latest paintings I have been working on, mostly seascapes of Trebarwith but also garden paintings of Cothele and Lanhydrock. The Wells Collection encompasses those paintings I completed of Wells in Somerset during the period when we lived in the town.

Some Developments to the Website

Dugald — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 20:03:11 +0000

This website has generated lots of new interest in my paintings and it is proving to be a great resource to show interested purchasers and gallery owners as well. We have added a new category of Still Lifes on the works page. While Still Lifes do not make the main body of my work, I often enjoy the diversion and the challenge. Soon we will be updating the Recent Works as I would like to post up some of my very latest paintings ‘hot off the press’. Maybe I will be able to show some paintings as they happen and explain what is going through my mind after Stage One, Stage Two etc.

Please keep watching this space!

Three New Giclée Prints available

Dugald — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 14:57:14 +0000

I have recently published three new giclée prints of Trebarwith Strand. Please have a look at these in the Prints section of the Works page. The Prints are a substantial size – the shortest side being at least 30 cm (12 ins).

They are available by post, rolled in a tube or mounted and wrapped from my studio. I have framed some up in a new cream and gold outer frame and they do look stunning.
