Oil on Board | 6 x 9 inches “The blossom on the moors last year was amazing. I liked painting the hawthorn trees laden with blossom. A cuckoo sat on a pile of wood very close to where I was painting.” 

Canvas on Panel | 5 x 10 inches “A wonderful subject spotted while driving along the coast road near Cley. I just missed out on the sunlight which had disappeared behind a cloud; nevertheless, it was still a lovely scene.” 

Canvas on Panel | 6 x 8 inches “My Grandad bought me the russet apples, my favourite apples to eat and paint! I set this still life composition up on one of our window sills and waited for interesting light effects to fall upon it. This was an evening light, note the intense, reflected blue

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches “I do enjoy still life painting, although I start more than I finish. I loved the morning light cast across the subject.”

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches Painted from life on the banks of the Bure, near St Benets, there was a lovely light glistening on the broad.”

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches “There was a lot of sea foam creating interesting forms on the sea, which otherwise would’ve been very grey. The sunlight kept appearing and disappearing but when it was out there was a lovely sparkle on the surface of the water.”

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches “The vapour trails created interesting lines and patterns in the morning sky. I noticed the darkest values were actually in the middle distance – the silhouetted trees against the sky. Typically the darkest values are in the foreground, but not on this occasion!”

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches “It was interesting capturing the colour of the greens receding to grey – a challenge while painting ‘en plein air’! I do love painting these English pastoral scenes with interesting light.”

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches “It was such a lovely morning during harvest time. I was up early and out painting and I didn’t see anyone. There was such a warm glow on the stubble field.”

Oil on board | 6 x 8 inches “I sat on the shingle bank at Salthouse and painted this view towards Weybourne. I had undertaken an awful painting looking straight towards the sun, undeterred I turned my back to the sun and had much better luck!”
