Oil on board, 5×7″ Our evenings on holiday are usually spent wandering around, or chilling out in the harbour. But this sky wasn’t to be missed!

Oil on board, 5×7″ If it isn’t Dad waking me up, it is the distant chugging of a fishing boat. I find them an important inclusion in my sunrise paintings.

Oil on board, 5×7″ Most of the time, Dad is out of view, but on this occasion, it was fitting to include him in the painting, as a thank you for being there with me on these early starts!

Oil on board, 8×6″ This was the first time I had painted in the city streets of Norwich, I was painting alongside David Curtis when a lovely lady came over and looked at our work, she recognised us and supplied us with a much appreciated coffee! It lifted our spirits and soon the sun turned

Oil on board, 5×7″ This is a typical pochade box painting I like to produce when on holiday. I like the striking effect of the sky and the reflected light in the water.

Oil on board, 5×7″ This was a very spontaneous painting, trying to capture salmon coloured clouds reflected in the water. I added the sail boat back in the studio to give the painting some life.

Oil on board, 6×8″ I always think that the last painting of the day is the best. This painting was no exception. It was such a beautiful end to a busy day’s painting. This piece captures the last of the day’s light over a high tide in Mousehole harbour.

Oil on board, 6×8″ I love the diffused light emanating from the sun, full of colour and creating the sparkle on the lapping waves.

Oil on board, 6×8″ I painted this on location in Fowey in really poor light. It was a surprise to see the outcome when we returned to the holiday cottage.

Watercolour 16.25×11″ I used ochre based shades in this piece to really add warmth to convey the heat of an August afternoon.
