Seascape 5

SOLD Most of my recent seascapes have also featured sky or beach. This is the first that is pure water. For those of you that like waves, try and get to see 'Riding Giants', generally thought to be the best surf movie ever made. I think of it whenever I'm painting an image like this. I understand they showed it last weekend at the De La Warr Pavilion and projected it on an outside wall. A great way to watch a great film.

Downland near Lewes

This is a view looking south from the train shortly after leaving Lewes station travelling towards Brighton.There is a real change in the temperature over the past few days and there's a real autumnal chill in the air. Though I love the warmth of the summer I'm looking forward to the smells and colours of the coming season.

Abstract seascape

Another REALLY rough sea today. I always find it strange looking at images of a rough sea without the sound of the waves. The sound is a hugely important part of the 'experience' of the sea and it becomes something completely different without it.
A bit like watching a goal scored at a big football match on TV with the sound turned off. SOLD

Another seascape

I can't stop doing these! Until about a month ago I had never attempted drawing or painting the sea at all. During my first painting (from a photograph) I experienced that exciting moment where intuition and experience take over and you create on 'auto pilot'. I aim to paint at least one of these a week over the next year. SOLD

August seascape

The sea has been incredible over the past few weeks with near gale force winds. This was mid evening yesterday (about 8.00pm) just before it started to get dark. I set up my work at Newhaven Fort today as part of the Create show (part of Artwave) It opens this Saturday for two weeks, so come along and see all of my unsold 'daily' paintings.

Near Birling Gap 2

SOLD Here is another view of a group of trees at the top of a field near Birling Gap.

Beach scene

Second day of Airborne today and the weather couldn't be better. Bright blue skies and a light breeze. I painted the view from my studio at dawn this morning but not happy with the outcome so here is another painting of the beach.
