Beautiful shapes from this creeper in Erlestoke woods. Lots of wet into wet work, splattering and spraying.

I loved the tiny specks of light filtered through the trees and reflection off shiny foliage.

Quite a labour of love as it took ages to mask the highlights. But it did enable me to use lots of water flooded washes.

Wet sand mirrors colour from the sunset, a beautiful evening walk.

Trying to behave myself with colour , so lots of greys with hints of delicate colour. Palette knife painting to get some texture.

These two paintings have returned to their origins this week- Caenhill Community Farm. I hope they bring as much enjoyment there as I had painting them.

I have wanted to paint this incredible Chestnut for years, I hope I have captured some of it’s character.

Palette knife painted to give lots of texture.

A lovely couple of days indulging in painting with Maggie Brown- heaven. Beautiful scenery , lovely talented  lady, food and paints.

Lots of runs and slapped on thick paint, the freedom of plain air painting-wonderful

Superb session painting sunflowers in this lovely place by kind permission from Chris and Hellie

As below, shame this does not show the full portrait shape paintings.

Watercolour and Ink spaltters depict the light in my local lane.

Lots of finger dabs to create this mysterious woodland scene.

Watercolours and inks by Jean Perrett Artist

Playing with watercolour and inks again, just looking at John Blockley’s work and how he washes part dried ink away. impressionist paintings by Jean Perrett

Pretty colours in this palette knife painting, patchy colour applied in layers showing under layers.

Another painting from photos at Heybridge, painted mainly in water-soluble ink, a very unforgiving medium , but fascinating to use as the colours split leaving yellow and blue stains.

A plein air and painting from photo taken in Heybridge. An idyllic place to walk and paint, made even better by our lovely friends and their family.

A visit to Nymans National Trust property meant I took lots of photos, this rose was begging to have its photo taken.

Loved the jumbled shapes and paraphernalia.

I like the echo of the yellow pot, and the green tint to the staging from the garden.

A couple of watercolours from our recent holiday.

This beautiful medieval woodland led the way to a ruined castle.

Super shapes from this heavy cropping plum, combined with nice shadows, another opportunity to emulate Monet.

Not only were there lovely shadows, but the shiny jug reflected the shadows.

What a treat painting in the garden.

It was not the flowers, but the shadows that attracted me to paint this, you can almost smell the warm scent.

The bright yellow of this field was blinding in the sunshine. I used lots of deep purple and blue shades to try and emphasise the yellow.

Thick lush textured paint moved and mixed on the canvas, lots of energy and movement just like the fast growing plant life.

The low sun on the field next to us, just caught the tips of long grasses, cow parsley and buttercups.

From a photo I took at Poulshot Community Farm. This pose was made for painting, not sure who is looking at who here, but a chance to use some different light effects.

Kings mead square today 11-4 , street entertainment and street fair- see this painting and lots more

Painted using flat wide brushes and solid colours.

Inspired by Stuart Ropers workshop at The White Horse Bookshop Marlborough.

Busy playing with inks and water, loving the effects. Inspired by John Blockley

Loosely painted in oils with lots of stumbling and a very limited palette.

This boat was almost posing for me for this pastel painting. I love the reflections of the quaint buildings behind and the parked cars along the quayside bring this up to date.

I am very proud to be showing 8 paintings in this prestigious gallery.

For the full selection see my gallery page.

The light through the vase is what drew me to to this image, not the flowers.

Painted in inks with the addition of a little watercolour.

Loved using thick textured oils for this.

Just loads of space to roam.

My favourite beach in Saundersfoot, made for this oil painting.

Normally the last colour I’d use for trees, but there were no leaves, but the trunks were the most vivid green ever.

These bikes parked in a puddle outside a bright shop window caught my eye much more than any window display could.

A small attempt at using my life drawing for painting

Shame this cuts off the flowers, gorgeous gardens.

A lovely March day was spent sketching and painting here, lovely company, thank you Cathy.

We were lucky with the sunshine, but wish I wore long johns.

Thank you to the Devizes Museum for exhibiting this painting.

Visit The Museum 10-5 Monday to Saturday, or 12-4 on Sundays until 29th May.

Approximately 50 selected works are on show.

Another pastel with scumbled marks.

Pastel on sandpaper made it easy to achieve the lovely gnarled shapes of this ivy clad tree.

New Pastels, and the perfect opportunity for fun with colour.

High tea was good too.

The same afternoon. Painted partly with fingers and a restricted colour palette of Prussian, Alizarin, Raw Umber, White and a tiny bit of Lemon Yellow.

From a photo I took walking my dog Ollie, mud can be beautiful.

Low winter light emphasised the darks and lights for this painting. Much of the paint was applied with fingers.

Incredible scenery from this cliff top view near Shrinkle. Lots of different oil painting techniques used- scumbling , paint smears, and paint applied direct from the tubes.

Low winter sun caught the objects on the conservatory table beautifully.

The plant is too big for the table, but it has not flowered for 12 years and its cold in there, so I put it where I could still see it when the doors were closed.

The kitchen chair almost dazzled me with the light and shapes, just had to have a go at painting it.

Mostly inks and a little watercolour and liquid pencil captured this.

I liked the shapes created by this thirsty willow tree.

Bright light shone through the hedgerow at the sides of the lane changing all the colours.

This close up of a small dam in a pretty stream is the ideal opportunity to play with thick smudged paint dragged with a palette knife to create reflections of the overhanging trees.

I loved the deep sky and shadow colours, the paint mixed on canvas gives the lily pads some super texture and colour variations.

Completed from a photo taken at Giverny. This is a makeover using more dramatic colouring and definition .

A personal favourite at the moment , same subtle shades, but softer, misty feel.

Still using the turquoise, greys and pinks and loving the effects .

This Willow is huge, I have been wanting to paint it for ages, I finally got to it.

This painting was inspired by a section of colours seen together, a dusky pink, turquoise and grey.

A commission from photo , painted in Acrylics.

A winters evening in the city centre.

My favourite of this small group of watercolours with ink, simple but effective, I want to explore that light.

Enchanted woodland scene

Lots of colour and contrasting black ink depict the light breaking through these Fir trees.

Random watery paint runs and inks used to capture this wild specimen.

A copy of Monet’s painting, not for sale

Tiny watercolour inspired by the patterns made by tractor tyres and the shadows and reflections of fence posts.

The last roses picked before the frost, in watercolour

This was a challenge, so many reflections , the conservatory is reflected in the door and back onto the picture frame.
