Sandsend Breakwaters, Yorkshire. Oil on board, 8"x8", Framed.
Showing at: Trattles & Geall Fine Arts, Whitby. (Sold)

A wet day on the beach with the tide coming in. I am always drawn to these battered breakwaters as they calmly march into the oncoming waves. The overcast sky and the wet sand made for interesting reflections and a challenge to capture in paint.

 Sunset in Porthleven, Cornwall. Oil on board, 10"x10", Framed, Private Collection.

A sunset that took all of ten minutes to sink beyond the horizon but produced a terrific colour display before it went. I like to remember these moments when the British summer isn't being particularly summery!

Moored Boats, Ilfracombe harbour, oil on board. Framed.

This was a late afternoon scene. What drew me to this view was the stark contrast between the highlights and the shadows. Most of my paintings will have something of this contrast in them, for me it can add a little depth.
