Cork Oak Tree Stage 1- Work in progress palette knife oil painting by Marion Hedger
Cork Tree (Working Title) Work in Progress
Stage 1
Stage 1
Oil palette knife painting
30x60 cm 12x24 inch
It's
iris time again. Every year we take a trip over to an iris nursery near
Hyeres. It's quite a trip so we usually take the opportunity to travel
around and take in a some of the countryside. This year was no
exception. Part of our travels takes us through the Maures national park
which is full of oak cork trees and sweet chestnut trees. I always take
loads of photos, of course, and plenty of the cork trees.
We last went around this area last September and I painted this cork tree painting

About Today's Painting
For
today's painting I needed a long canvas. I had a 30x60 cm canvas with a
partly painted lily on it. I lost interest in the lily and it has been
sitting on my 'to be finished pile' for about 2 years. As it was only
as far as the underpainting stage the acrylic layer was quite thin and
made an ideal surface for painting my cork tree.
Stage 1
I
wiped a thin layer of linseed oil over the canvas before mapping out
the shape of the tree. After roughly indicating the outline of the tree I
filled in the sky spaces. I used a mixture of ultramarine blue, ocean
blue and white which was a mixture of underpainting white, this dries
super fast, and titanium white. My intention was to start darker at the
top, move through to light blue and indicate more cloud at the bottom. I
also paid attention to the sky spaces making sure they were all
different shapes and sizes and all abstract. I wasn't too fussed about
covering all of the old painting - perhaps the colour peeping through
would add 'something'.
It's funny, but I find the effect of the old painting on the tree trunk oddly interesting!

Spring, I
love this time of year. After the tulips die down, the irises are the
next to appear. As well as the dark blue border irises, these pale
purple irises are amongst the first of the irises to appear. They are tall, and
although not as showy as the bearded irises, they give a beautiful
purple haze under the citrus trees.About this painting
I painted this in a loose impasto style, dancing around the canvas with my palette knife, aiming more for the purple glow than true representation of the irises.

Abstract Tulips floral painting Palette knife painting by Marion Hedger
Abstract Tulips floral painting
Palette knife painting by Marion Hedger
18x24cm (approx 7"x10")
Oil on canvas board
Available in my Etsy shop
This was painted while the tulips were in their prime brightening up the garden. It started out as impressionist/realism but I got carried away. I took a palette knife to the surface and swiped it over the painting. This gave a lovely loose abstract feel. A few lines finished off the painting.

Autumn Explosion Landscape
Silver birches in autumn by Marion Hedger
Palette knife painting

In this painting I wanted to give the illusion of the confusion of colours that can occur in a woodland during Autumn. I went a bit wild with the palette knife putting in juicy dabs of colour.
This painting is now SOLD and on its way to the UK.
A companion piece to this painting is Autumn Silver Birches

Unkempt 1 - Abandoned Lavender Field Take 1 WIP by Mairon Hedger
Unkempt 1 - Abandoned Lavender Field 1 WIP
Oil Palette knife painting by Marion Hedger
24x30cm oil on canvas panel
(Note: This photo has come up much brighter than the actual painting)
When visiting the lavender fields in Provence, there are always a certain number of them which seem to be abandoned and left to go wild. This always fascinates me - maybe it's the chaos amongst the order of the normally straight rows that intrigues me.
I first painted a similar scene last September see HERE. I have someone interested in a larger version but with more poppies in the front, so, never needing an excuse to paint the lavender fields, I decided to try a couple of versions. This is the first one and still needs some more work to make the fields recede more.

SOLD - Where Poppies and Lavender Meet Provence Landscape painting by Marion Hedger
Where Poppies and Lavender Meet
By Marion Hedger
By Marion Hedger
15x15cm (6"x6")
oil on box canvas
An
abstracted view of the lavender fields. I like the way this painting
'moves', if you can say a painting moves! I fell like it invites your
eye to travel into the scene in a meandering way.

Almond Blossom work in progress oil painting by Marion Hedger
Almond Blossom Palette knife oil painting WIP
by Marion Hedger
by Marion Hedger
24x30cm (approx 10x12inch)
Oil on Canvas Panel
Work in Progress
As you read this I shall be on my way to Japan. Hopefully the cherry blossom will be in bloom and I will come away with heaps of photos to work from when I get back. I may also do some sketching while I am there, although I am very hesitant about sketching/painting outside in full view.
To get me in the mood, I cut some of my almond blossom an placed it in this vase. The vase is from a set of three, all slightly different but all with odd angled sides. Talk about making things difficult to paint! This painting is not quite finished - I still have to work on the branch on the table and, now that I see the photo, alter the stem on the left.
