Watercolour | 9 x 9 inches “I loved the composition of these sheep and, along with the colours, I thought it could work well in watercolour. I loved the soft transition of colour from the oaks and birches that melted into the deep green of the pine trees. It was a real challenge to get …
Watercolour | 6 x 8 inches “I loved the light on this little Massey Ferguson. It was a beautiful morning in March, a touch of frost and mist. I enjoyed capturing the sunbeams through the skeletal trees.”
Watercolour | 6 x 8 inches “This is a subject I often see while walking our dogs, but I’m usually too busy keeping an eye on them to fully appreciate it. Funnily enough, on this occasion, I had brought my camera and it was from retrieving one of our dogs from the hedgerow where I …
Watercolour | 5 x 6 inches “A great view from St Benets Abbey looking towards Ranworth church on the Norfolk Broads. I still love painting at St Benets … it’s eerie atmosphere and interesting past always intrigues me.”
