We usually post Mrs Summerhouse’s art on a Friday but for one reason and another this will be a Tuesday offering. It’s a bit different because the technique involves a kind of engraving process using a Wacom pen on paper although probably any instrument with a relatively sharp end would do and then ‘covering’ the… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art

Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Two for the price of one
A recent picture from Mrs Summerhouse of the view across the dale from our vineyard. Followed by an older version (maybe three years ago). They are both pastel on canvas. The first one is the view now in summer and the second one is in autumn.
Mrs Summerhouse’s Art : A last look at Ireland
It’s hard to look back at photos from our Irish holiday and not want to turn another one of those great views into a piece of art, so that’s what I did. A different view of The Wild Atlantic Way, County Kerry on the other side of the Connor Pass. So last view – for now.… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s Art : A last look at Ireland
Mrs Summerhouse’s Art from our Irish holiday
A memento of our Irish holiday from Mrs Summerhouse. From a photo of one of the Blasket Islands known as The Sleeping Giant (sorry can’t do the gaelic version) for obvious reasons. She’s used this image before in her art but loves it so much that she keeps going back to it. This photo was… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s Art from our Irish holiday
Mrs Summerhouse’s Art : Our back garden in OZ
Perhaps it’s something to do with number one son returning from Australia that turned Mrs Summerhouse’s thoughts to the time we spent there about ten years ago. This is a painting – oil on canvas – of our ‘back garden’ and its an old example of her art. The trees in the foreground are orange… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s Art : Our back garden in OZ
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : ‘Atha’s pond’
A different location this month, not my usual picture from Nidderdale or our local park but a picture from a photo taken near our daughter’s and son-in-law’s house east of Leeds. It’s not really called Atha’s pond but they’ve named it that so that’s what it has become. Admittedly you can’t see much of the… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art : ‘Atha’s pond’
Mrs Summerhouse’s Art : Nidderdale in February
Something different for February. It’s a picture from the banks of the River Nidd just up river from Pateley Bridge. It’s based on a photo taken on one of our morning dog walks in that area. We took the photo and with the sun behind the trees and directly into the camera, it made them look like… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s Art : Nidderdale in February
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Sunrise in the park
Mrs Summerhouse’s latest offering, a pastel on canvas about 3′ by 4′ and it’s based on a photo we took one morning early in our local park as we walked the dogs, sun just coming up through the mist and trees .
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Winter in the dale
The dale being Nidderdale in Yorkshire, the location of our vineyard. Looking very different at this time of year. Mrs Summerhouse created this about a month ago when we had our first, and so far, only snow, not looking very likely for a white Christmas either. Still at least she captured this beautiful scene. We… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Winter in the dale
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Nidderdale in autumn
After our Scottish trip it’s back to our own neighbourhood in Yorkshire. Before autumn disappears altogether, here is a view from our barn / vineyard of Nidderdale. This one is watercolour and ink on canvas.
