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…
This piece is brightly lit... with the red and white chalk of those remarkable cliffs at Old Hunstanton buoyant under a cloudless sky. The coarse matter in the foreground is littered with falls...Carr stone beneath the chalk is coarser than the chalk...this is a constantly mobile coastline. The binding medium here is true gesso (rabbit skin size and chalk)...I've added…
Ladram Red, Sidmouth, Devon. Medium: Otter Sandstone, Mercia Mudstone and gouache on handmade cotton rag paper. Ladram Bay has some beautiful triassic sea stacks- here they are with a touch of cobalt turquoise...if you begin to climb towards Sidmouth and look down and back into the bay a cove reveals itself partially. Access is difficult except from the sea. The water…

The coarser matter is Carr stone...coarser than the chalk. The medium here is true gesso (rabbit skin size and chalk) ...I've added blue and yellow…

Sunday Afternoon Dusk. West Bay, Dorset. Winter afternoon walking along the shore...I notice a family- a toddler and a dog walk across the sky line... Gouache on 300gsm cartridge paper.
A supermoon- and groups of people lighting fires under Hengistbury Head and hanging around in the moonlight. A lovely evening. 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. The cost of postage is…
