...a beautiful clear summer dawn... settled weather. The caravans are perched high towards the sun. I'm still in the shade. (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…
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.
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. 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.
This image is framed. Ferry Bridge is just to the top right of the image...Portland is still dark with lights twinkling. Dawn is growing out of a crimson slice cut out of a twilight sky... Acrylic and site debris on handmade cotton rag paper. 70x37cm paper size. 90x55cm framed dimensions. The painting is framed and currently on exhibition at Sladers…
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…
Eype beach looking west has some extravagant sweeps and dips...at first light the sun just touches the headlands...it doesn't last long. The rest of the coast is in night shadow. Diptych. Handmade cotton rag paper. This is currently displayed unframed- suspended on wooden batons - this allows the piece to find its own shape and to have no glass interference...do…

A diptych. Watercolour, beach earths and debris on handmade cotton rag paper. 31x9cm paper size. 44x22cm framed dimensions. I sat amongst the rock pools with the crows pecking around...see the painting in progress in the gallery. The painting is framed. I'm happy to send a photo of the presentation.

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…
...just the black tip that drew my attention to the gannet....we sometimes see them after storms... This is currently unframed. I'm happy to send a photo of the kind of presentation I use. The cost of postage is not included in this price.
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.
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…
