Oil on board, 7×10″ I painted this on location. It was just the most amazing subject! I had in mind a larger watercolour because it was such a cracking subject.

Oil on board, 12×8″ Bill is a potter and a member of the Fisherman’s Friends in Port Isaac. I was invited to paint in the studio while Billy and daughter Faye were working. It was a really lovely experience!

Oil on board, 10×7″ It was a rather cardiovascular experience walking up the steep hill to get to this location! Though it was worth it!

Oil on board, 10×7″ Tom Rickman is a fellow artist who works in Mousehole. I got this photo when he was on his boat. I like the way his face reflects the glow from his red sail.

Oil on board, 6×8″ The title of this painting is the result of allowing my Mother to help me name paintings! Too cheesy for my liking, but she insisted the title stay! It made her day!!

Oil on board, 7×5″ We came back after a full day’s painting at Rock and this scene presented itself! I rushed outside and sat beneath the light from the kitchen window. It reminds me of the work by Julius Olsson a St Ives School artist.

Oil on board, 7×5″ This was a beautiful still morning, what I like in the foreground sea are the dabs of almost raw pigment to build up the effect of movement.

Oil on board, 5.75×8.25″ This is a gem of a painting and one I wouldn’t mind keeping! It has all the ingredients in a landscape that I admire; a good shaped tree off centre, decent light, sheep, frost and a low lying mist.

Oil on board, 7×10″ I love the way boats tilt on their side as the tide retreats. The inclusion of Bill, a local fisherman completes this painting.

Oil on board, 7×10″ This was quite a special moment, Dad and I watched gannets diving, it was something I hadn’t seen before.
