Early Autumn Corner
2021 was an odd year in many ways. In early October I went to RHS Rosemoor to draw and paint the gardens in their Autumn colours. However, the season had not really arrived, some trees had shed their leaves, others were still green or very slowly changing.
I particularly liked this corner by the lake which had some of the seasonal colours that I was expecting but also had evergreens and some bare trees. And of course, many complex reflections.
It was a bitterly cold and hunkered down in my portable seat a made drawings and watercolours, mostly with gloves on. Back in the studio I moved things about a bit to get the half-moon composition.
I had used lilies in my last painting and was interested in using them again, I like the way, with just a little shadow underneath they define the surface of the water.
The Gunnera and evergreen trees made for a great contrast to the more seasonal textures around then.
Pete Newell talks about his paintings discussing his methodology, composition and process.
Pete's paintings are all made using good quality acrylics on professional standard linen or cotton canvases such as those by Winsor and Newton. They have warp resistant kiln-dried, bevelled solid pine stretcher bars. The canvases are archival and acid free. Each painting is varnished with appropriate acrylic varnish and simply framed by Pete. The frames are easily removed if a purchaser wishes to re-frame a painting.
The paintings on this website are all nautical or maritime in their subject matter. Pete does have paintings embracing other subjects and he can show you these using either Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp.
His paintings are all for sale. Selling is an interesting point for artists. Pete's belief is that "painting is communication and that to complete the creative circle one's art needs to have an audience to communicate to." The act of selling is to complete that creative circle.
