I have been working on this abstract painting on off for a four months now. I used thick paint and mixed many of the colours directly on the canvas.

I painted this view, another in my Fenland Series, of Ten Mile Bank near Brandon Creek in June. I painted this wet in wet with mostly a large brush as I rushed to capture the vivid blue fen sky and the morphing clouds.

Tree paintings in exhibition

Ashley — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:20:15 +0000

Decided to show two of my paintings depicting avenue of trees and different times of the year.

June Avenue, oil on canvas

June Avenue was painted a few months ago but is based on paint sketches made last year.

Autumn Avenue, oil on canvas

Autumn Avenue is also based on sketches made at Jesus Green, Cambridge last autumn. Both paintings are very influenced by Impressionism.

I’m exhibiting alongside Gail de Cordova, Tess Recordon and Nick Welsh in the 4@5 Abstracts exhibition. I am showing 2 paintings, 2 sculptures and one mixed media.

Constructed from surgical instruments

The work by Nick Welsh is very graphical and based on his recent journey to San Francisco and well worth a look. And the paintings by Gail and Tess are also very beautiful and impressive.

We just had the private view a lot of people turned out and best of all really liked the work.

More oil paintings from Kenwin Studio

Here is a few more paintings by Kenneth Baldwin-Smith. The first is an oil painting that for me sums up autumn, it is of a conker just fallen from the tree. I grew up with this painting and have always loved it.

This next scene is a winter snow scene of Shelford, Cambridge. It is painted on to slate.

Part of the fenland series - Oil on canvas

Fenland Rise is another work in my fenland series of landscape paintings. I wanted to capture the overcast morning light that spread across the rapeseed and ploughed fields near the fen town of Whittlesey .
