sea blue sky abstracts

This little oil painting on board, which measures 12.5 x 12.5 cm, is a typical example of those that I frame and sell at Art Space Gallery   and usually display on Picture from St Ives Although it may seem surprising, this little picture is the result of many hours of work:  starting with a sketchy idea and then allowing the subject to expand and evolve, not really knowing at first whether the sky will be grey or blue or the sea choppy or calm - whether there will even be rocks.  Perhaps the fact that the outcome is unpredictable is what makes these paintings so interesting and fun to do?  'St Ives Bay & Godrevy'.   SOLD ' Click to enlarge.  Copyright Lesley Ninnes.

A selection of original paintings on board in various sizes - which have already been taken to the framers to be float mounted.  Unfortunately I forgot to measure them first!  They're quite a bit larger than the usual 12.5 x 12.5 cm square paintings though, with the exception of the last one, that is.  Currently to be found in the browser boxes at St Ives Society of Artists.  'Morning Moon'.   SOLD  'Evening Approach'.   SOLD 'Porthmeor - Blue & Grey'.   SOLD 'Sea Fury'.   SOLD 'Red Sky Seascape'.   SOLD 'Sunset Orange Sky'.   SOLD Click to enlarge.  Copyright Lesley Ninnes.

'Rocks & Rain' and 'Silver Sea' - more info about both paintings in the previous post - have now been framed and are part of St Ives Society of Artists Spring Exhibition, which opened today.  It's a lovely show and well worth a visit.  Click here to visit the Society website.
