ALONG THE DAISY PATH TO THE FULL MOON. March 2020. Above Bats Head, Lulworth, Dorset. Gouache and site earths on handmade cotton rag paper. I walked my way up the hill as the moon rose through an avenue of daisies that were not there on the way down... mysterious - a touch of magic that I have not sought to…
This piece is richly encrusted with the red and white chalk of those remarkable cliffs. I'm sitting at a distance to them at low tide. The sea-smoothed boulders in the foreground are largely Carr stone...coarser than the chalk. The binding medium here is acrylic...I've added blue and yellow artist pigments...everything else was found on location. I worked with this piece…
A round Iceland bus ticket in August- September 1983 made it possible to jump on and off at will and pitch the tent- recording as I went. I have a few very similar prints...so do contact me if you would like to see. Postage not included in price.
BLUEBERRY MOON, WEST BEXINGTON. Acrylic and beach material on unstretched canvas. The blueberries I nibbled from the garden were exactly in harmony with the shadows.

Unstretched canvas- heavy impasto - raised on foamcore on limed…

(diptych) Site debris and watercolour on handmade cotton rag paper. 44x16cm. This is prepared ready to hang with a baton behind (to be displayed without a frame). I'm happy to send a photo of the presentation. The cost of postage is…
Made on location in a lively breeze...strong contre jour. A cream tinted Ingres paper upon which I could add the bright white of the breaking waves. Unframed. The cost of postage is not included in this price.
This is the moment when an arc of starling becomes funnel- and they seem to be sucked into the reed beds where they commence to chatter and organise themselves. Encrusted with marsh and shingle. This is currently unframed. The cost of postage is not included in the price.
This piece is richly encrusted with the red and white chalk of those remarkable cliffs. The coarse matter in the foreground is Carr stone...coarser than the chalk.

The cost of postage is not included in this price.
The silhouettes of rock pool mounds and crows against the low light ... looking straight into the dark/light glare of water, feather and stone. This piece is framed- dimensions: 38x31cm.

This began in 2011 in a portrait format. I returned with the piece along the same shoreline over time. It is a constantly mobile bit of coast so it seemed absolutely appropriate to 'over-write' radically according to the conditions. The surface has heavy impasto and is deeply scored...material has been removed as well as added. Currently displayed on a wooden…
DOGS SLEEPING IN FISHING NETS. Mahabalipuram. Tamil Nadu, India. 2010.

Here they are having found comfortable niches in the fishing nets.
