    Saltaire, Shipley, Yorkshire, Oil on board, 8" x 8", framed. Sold

Another wet into wet exercise, also an exercise in trying to work quicker and not getting hung up on architectural detail.
Houses on the Hill, Staithes, Yorkshire, Oil on board, 8" x 8" Framed.
Showing at: Trattles & Geall Fine Arts, Whitby. (Sold)

Wet paint into wet background trying to work quickly in oil. The background was dark so a good exercise in overwhelming them with the lighter colours. It was also an exercise in getting away from painting windows as I know they're built to just creating the impression of windows.

Sunset on the Waves, Cornwall, oil on board, 10" x 10", Framed, Private Collection.

A pretty abstract image. Quite a challenge to get the movement of the sea before it hits the beach.
