Title or Location: Golden Hour on the Tower
One of our favorite places to watch the sunset is in front of this tower at Nokomis Beach. This painting started as a small watercolor plein air sketch. I really enjoyed it and wanted to do a larger painting in oil of that magical moment when there are just a few fleeting seconds of light left. The light changes dramatically, so I used a photograph as a reference to bring this painting to life.

Title or Location: Valdemossa in Mallorca
I painted this using Winsor & Newton watercolour paints on Hahnemuhle 140lb paper. I visited Mallorca in 2005 and fell in love with the hilltop hamlet of Valdemossa. I recently found a postcard I'd bought while there and decided to try and capture the image. The PC was very small (smaller than A6) so it was very difficult to make out where one building ended and its neighbour began. I sketched it out first to be sure of my perspective (the painting is 16cm x 13cm) and worked my way across, contr

Title or Location: Beautiful Beddgelert
My name is Dave JarvisI am quite new to painting.I only took it up when I retired from work just over three years ago. I used to work in heavy industry as an engineer. After retirement I needed something to do with my time, I don?t know why I started painting. I just thought I would have a go. Everything I have done has been self taught, picking up tips here and there but mainly from the internet.I find it very relaxing and the time just flies by. Most of my art work is in watercolour
