Please join me on my Joy of Colour blog
I am closing this blog, as I have two other blog sites - one for my florals and one for my daily paintings and it is difficult for me to keep them all up to date. I am now combining my smaller and larger paintings into my daily painting blog, which I have renamed "Joy of Colour".
Please pop over and have a look http://artbymariondailypaintings.blogspot.fr/
and sign up for email updates so you can see my latest works and works in progress.
I am going to continue with my "art of flowers" blog, specifically for my florals.

Autumn Light - palette knife oil painting
Autumn Light |
40x50 cm (16" x 20") on boxed canvas
Oil palette knife painting by Marion Hedger
I am always captivated by the way light filters through woodland. The yellows and golds on these birches are so rich and vibrant, what a lovely time of year.
I blocked in the major masses in pure colour and gradually laid in the autumn colours using a palette knife. My palette was mainly cadmium yellow, cadmium orange, diox. violet, carmine and ultramarine blue. Because the paint is quite thick, I used Liquin as a drying medium. It has just come off my easel, hence the slight glare on the bottom.

Abstract in pinks and blue oil painting
Abstract in pinks and blue Original oil painting by Marion Hedger 30x30 cm (12"x12") oil on stretched canvas FOR SALE in my ETSY SHOP 95€, shipped international |
I like the effect of these colours together and for me - especially with the square format - it works. Sometimes it reminds me of a cityscape, and at other times of a waterscape and reflections.

Bluebell Wood in Dappled Light Oil Painting
Bluebell Wood in dappled light, Rufford Park
Oil painting by Marion Hedger
30x40x3.5cm boxed canvas with sides painted black
Can be framed or hung as is.
Every summer in May the old woods of England are awash with blue. These tiny bluebells give such a beautiful colour to the woodland floor - sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes pink, depending upon how the light shines on them.It is truly a wonderful sight. The dappled light of the woods in early summer really lifts the heart.

Shepherd's Huts Haute Alpes Pastel Painting
Shepherd's Huts Haute Alpes by Marion Hedger
40x50 cm (16"x20")
Pastel Painting on sanded card
This idyllic scene is of the Haute Alpes in Provence, France. The shape and position of these remote huts caught my eye. We took off on a whim one day in September and spent a week touring around. It certainly is a remote area, one I would love to visit again in the spring for the spring flowers.
I am considering redoing this scene again, but in oils.

A reworked painting of one I painted as part of the landscape challenge on wetcanvas.com. I added a closer headland and worked some more on the sky.
