Pastel | 7 x 11 inches “I was drawn to paint this by the reflections and patterns in the water. I quite like this view of Blakeney, it’s quite nice to paint something different other than the iconic view.”

Pastel | 8 x 6 inches It was lovely watching the sun sink into the sea, it was a great end to a summer’s day. The colours were so bright, you almost have to squint as you look at the sun in this painting.”
Pastel | 6 x 8 inches “Not the usual view of Blakeney church, but a lovely view nonetheless. The summer hedgerows brimming with flowers and insects were great to paint. My girlfriend says what a cheerful painting it is – and I think she’s right!”
