The Old Steps, Rookery Farm, Hewish. Carolyn Lamb. Oil. 20x20cm. 2018. Painted this on the last of the summer outings with Clifton Arts Club. As usual I stayed on after everyone had left to get enough time to finish my painting.

Red Castle in Lunan Bay , near Montrose. Carolyn Lamb 27th & 28th August 2018. Oil. This bay between Montrose and Arbroath has been on my 'to paint' list for years. You spot the 15th century Red Castle on its hump perched beside the fantastic sand dunes and long sandy beach as you whiz past on the train. That gives the best view of the castle as closer up the ruins look odd, - more like an animal sitting down than a castle. Although that was the view I thought I would paint, it is still on my 'to do' list . This time I went a bit closer onto the dunes.

Weir on the River Frome , Frenchay. Carolyn Lamb. 13th August 2018. 20 x 20cm. Out this week with Stuart and Jane, painting along the banks of the River Frome. This is the first time I have been painting on the Oldbury Court estate. We are following in the footsteps of the 19th century Bristol School of Artists who often painted along the Frome around Snuff Mills .

Willow Field, Holt Farm. Carolyn Lamb. 2018 Oil. 20x20cm. The hot summer has meant the garden flowers at Holt Farm have suffered, but I was able to find a subject in the field of willow saplings. This picture was done over 3 days - 9th, 10th and 16th August..

SS Great Britain car park. Carolyn Lamb. Oil. 2018. Earlier this month I was painting the Macarthur warehouse down Bristol Docks. Not much has changed to its derelict state in the 2 years since I last painted it. More ivy and a wooden hoarding around the bottom. The flag is from the SS Great Britain.

Garden House with Sunflowers. Carolyn Lamb. 30th & 31st July 2018. 12" x 12". Oil. Flowers, vegetables and raspberries flank the path to the summerhouse Tim built. He calls it the collection centre as it stores hundreds of books and there is also a small studio on the left side. Hazel always grows an abundance of flowers so there is never a shortage of interesting subjects in their garden.

Here are the 4 oils I am entering for the Clifton Arts Club Open exhibition. One big Cornish scene painted from Brisons Veor in 2016 and 3 of my more normal size painted last year.

Mini Garden, Holt Farm, Blagdon. Carolyn Lamb 29 June & 6th July 2018. Hiding under the hedge from the heat for 2 sessions to complete this oil painting of the lovely garden in a mini car.

The Pool, Serridge House, Coalpit Heath. Carolyn Lamb. Oil. 7th July 2018. Painted today on an art club trip but lost on the way home as I left it on the roof of the car! I did retrace my route but it flew off somewhere on a lane between Coal Pit Heath, the rIng road or on the M 32 ! At least I still have the photo I took before packing to leave.

Whitewood Lodge Beehives. Carolyn Lamb. 30 June 2018 Oil. Painting with the Arts club on Saturday near Whitchurch.

Second Severn Crossing from Severn Beach. C Lamb. Oil. June 27th 2018. Lovely rock and mud when the tide is out. It almost looks as if you could walk across to Wales.

Chepstow Bridge from New Passage. C Lamb . Oil. 3 July 2018. While the warm weather keeps up its a good time for painting by the seaside. I last painted here in 2016.
