Not easy to spot sometimes...there are always one or two more in the group when they fly off in alarm. The orange beaks give them away. This was painted on a flat stone found on the beach. A piece of iron too...the binding medium is rabbit skin size. True gesso involving chalk with the size forms the base upon which…
Site earths and gouache on card. Deeply encrusted with traces of visits. Material added and material taken away. This piece is not framed. I can arrange for framing - this will be £520 framed.
Eype is absolutely full of delicious local earths...and fragments of litter. I enjoyed the energy of the gorse yellow. This is currently displayed framed.

Limed ash with wooden slip limed floated on foamcore on acid free board. If postage is required I will discuss options. If you look carefully there are loads of gulls circling around the airy cliffs...a diagonal bank of cloud isn't…
Made using traditional true gesso (animal protein size and chalk) on a recovered piece of wood from the site. This is slowly built up in many layers integrating site material (horned poppy seeds for example) and watercolour. The surface is sealed to protect the sensitive surface from humidity and dust. I have chosen to present this simply mirror plated on…
MACKEREL MOON Sitting on the edge of the beach with Weymouth in the top right corner, the Chesil sweeps away and I wait for the moon to appear. I see the sky warm almost imperceptably before it eases into visibility. I'm drawn awake by the energy of the full moon...the moment the moon begins to wane I can feel it.…
The starlings curl in from the sea and their movement lifts to mirror the contours of the shingle. Currently unframed. The cost of postage is not included in this price.

The local ravens are not frequently nearby. They reside in the maritime pines above the shore...present more often by their voice. This painting is framed: size 38x31cm. Limed ash. Floated in box frame. I'm happy to send a photo of the presentation. The cost of postage is not included in this price. I'll be in touch to discuss options.
True gesso, watercolour with site earths on handmade cotton rag paper. 14x19cm paper size. The white of the terns was so very different to the white waves. I could hear them calling to each other across the harbour...thanks to the quiet during 'lockdown'. The painting is framed and on view in the studio.
This is currently displayed unframed- suspended on a wooden baton - this allows the piece to find its own shape and to have no glass interference...do contact me for a photo or to discuss options. I wrote a poem along with this painted experience...do contact me if interested to read it. It was painted outside with great difficulty during Storm…
In a storm all sorts of stuff gets spat out by the sea. A messy situation...full of wrack and wreck...wind pushing in from the sea. A double layer of paper here...sky stained with earth. This is presented on a wooden baton and hangs in space detached from its wall...finding its own space. I include in the gallery an example of…
