Striped scarf

Here's my latest - a very stripy scarf in a German mostly wool blend. It was great fun knitting this and seeing the colour changes - rather addictive and hard to stop! This is 5 inches x 75 inches (12 1/2 x 190 cm), so it's useful for winding round and round your neck, and it's gone into my Etsy shop. You can see all the details at http://www.etsy.com/listing/96691884/hand-knit-scarf-striped-scarf-wool-long

Textural abstracts - 'Ravine' and 'Noon'

Here's the first of my two latest additions to my etsy shop - 'Ravine', in blues, violets, and purples, evoking water crashing in shadowy places between rocks.
And here's the second - 'Noon', in bismuth yellow, burnt siena, mars orange and yellow ochre. A hot painting on a very cold day here.

It was quite liberating doing these two highly textured gestural paintings. I have two more that I will add next week, once I've mounted them.

Windswept flames

After making my autumnal treasury, I painted this impression of a hillside bonfire with windswept flames. It's an acrylic painting, 8 x 10 inches, on canvas board, and I used acrylic texture medium to give a rough and scratched surface.
