Painting Number 3 is called Once Upon a River. I referred to photos of the movement of water when blown by the winter breeze and the ripples on the surface & the golden light which dances across the waves. 

The final work is Winter Doesn’t Hurry, which is inspired again by the effect of wind on water but on this occasion the river had taken on a different winter persona in shades of green & blue. Once again I have used gold which made me think of the ancient craft of cloisonné when strips of wire, usually gold, are used to form a pattern & powdered colourful enamel is added to fill the spaces creating beautiful decorative pieces of art.
