New Art paintings are my very latest artworks to be included on this online paintings gallery. New contemporary art paintings by me, the artist, Edward McNaught-Davis, will appear on this new art paintings page first until newer contemporary art paintings replace them. The existing contemporary art painting will then move to an appropriate online paintings gallery page of which there are many. “Welsh Cockerels on Patrol” was completed during late 2008. “Llandovery Roof Tops” was painted during Summer 2009 and “Carew Castle” was painted at the start of Autumn 2009. Newquay Harbour was painted during October 2009. These four pictures show different painting techniques with a common denominator of balanced colour usage.

About the Painting: “Welsh Cockerels on Patrol”
This is an acrylic painting using water colour techniques. These particular Cockerels belong to a farm above Llandewi Brefi on the mountain road to Ffarmers. Although I made some sketches on site, the bulk of this painting was achieved by studying a selection of photographs. It’s interesting to note that the composition of the cockerels seem to follow the Diamond pattern of the gate. I noticed that after I had finished the painting. Maybe it means something? But I don’t know what! More farm paintings are shown on the farming paintings of Wales page.

About the Painting: “Llandovery Roof Tops”
The composition shows the Eastern roof top view of Llandovery as seen from atop of the castle mound and which you will find at the far end of this ancient town’s car park. I accentuated all the colours to make the picture come alive. Many acrylic glazes were used to reach the desired effect. I added people and cars to the picture to add more interest. The aerial view of Carew Castle shows an alternative Bird’s eye perspective. If you enjoy flight views then please see my aerial paintings.
About the Painting: “Carew Castle”
This aerial view of Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales was achieved by flying over it in a light aircraft. Fortunately, I was not the pilot! The green backdrop is actually a river and not sky. A painting showing a part of the castle’s interior and entitled Carew Castle Turret Steps will give you an idea of the castle’s solidity of construction. A slight aerial perspective was used too for my “Welsh Cockerels on Patrol” painting below. This seemingly gives the picture much more depth.
About the Painting: “Newquay Harbour”
Newquay Harbour is near Aberaeron in Ceredigion (Cardiganshire), Wales. No sooner had I just finished this painting, it was sold to a private London collector. I painted the scene shown during October 2009. No under drawing was made and no sketches were done either. I painted it straight off and with very few adjustments in order to keep it fresh and spontaneous. Another harbour painting is shown on the Boats Paintings UK page and is called “Tenby Harbour” and where the colours include different mixes of blue pigment.
