Comments (0) I have paintings on the go, all at different stages, some very close to completion and others midway. However, they are all at a stage where they need to dry before I can continue.
Three are landscapes and two are abstract. Hopefully, I will post some pics of them soon.
For natural hair brushes I use diluted hair conditioner.
Another method is to dip the brush in linseed oil and leave overnight before rinsing out.
Finished framing another of my Norfolk Broads paintings, this one was one of two I painted en plein air on a cold late winters day. I had to keep switching between the two as the light changed.

How to remove a dent from a canvas?
I had a small dent in one of paintings so tried a method I had read about some time ago: Dip a cloth (I used tongs) in boiling water and apply to the back of the canvas/dent. As if by magic the dent disappeared.
I plan to update this blog with my new work and work in progress.
Part of Ashley Baldwin-Smith's series of fenland scenes
Recently, I have been working on a series of paintings depicting the fens. I spend a lot of time out in the fens sketching; fishing and walking my dog and it seemed natural to paint it. I have worked in a variety of styles – whatever felt right for the scene, mood, time of day and most of all how it made me feel.
Oil paint and mixed media
I have also been working on a very different series titled ‘recycled art’. For some I have purchased art from charity shops and then reworked them. For others, I have collected found objects and created a number of different sculptures and assemblages.
