John Brownbill Art 2002

I have put this collection together to show some of my watercolour paintings. I mainly paint from sketches or photographs, some have been inspired by my favourite artists others have been inspired by interests and holidays.

Wasdale Cold and Light
Wastwater in Cumbria on a January day.

A Cotswold Gate An old gate on the top road between Chipping Campden and Broadway.

Longsleddale Longsleddale in is a quiet valley in Cumbria; off the tourist trail. It is known to British children as Greendale, where Postman Pat delivered the mail.

Calm before the barge Summer greens on a Yorkshire canal

View from a bedroom The lights and darks of this room captured my imagination

Carreg Sampson
This watercolour tries to capture the vibrancy and power of the Carreg Sampson burial chamber on the Atlantic coast of Pembrokeshire

Scherazade
The name 'Scherazade' captures the tranquil ethereal quality of this watercolour.

Wave Breakers
This watercolour was inspired by a black and white photograph of the North Sea taken from the Belgian coast.

Dhow Flotilla
A photograph of dhows serenely sailing on the Nile inspired this watercolour.

Maeshafn Engine House
Maeshafn; Clwyd is one of my favourite areas. This engine house, painted in sepia from an old photograph, captures my interest in industrial archaeology. This engine house has now been demolished.

The Avon at Charlecote
I was attracted to the browns and greens of Charlecote. Here the Avon is shallow and sludgy.

Kenilworth Castle
Kenilworth Castle - quietly brooding

Mysterious Pentre Ifan
Pentre Ifan, like Carreg Sampson, is a Pembrokeshire Burial Chamber. The threatening sky heightens the mystery of Pentre Ifan.

Wasdale
A view from above Wasdale in Cumbria, with Wastwater lake below and Great Gable in the distance.

Racing Dhow
I tried to capture some of the exhilaration of sailing in this watercolour of a dhow at full sail.

Clouds
As a painting exercise I painted these clouds after visiting a Constable exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery.

Cockley Bridge
Painted in Early October, just before the leaves started to turn brown.

Cumbrian Circle
This lovely Lake District stone circle watercolour was achieved using Cadmium Yellow, Alizarin Crimson and French Ultramarine.
