Bath 2

Oil on Canvas (35.6cm x 35.6cm) (Unframed) This is the second painting in the Bath series and unusually I felt that this suited a square canvas. This is not one of the well known views of Bath, just an ordinary street by the gates that lead into The Royal Crescent and Garde...

Blakeney Quay

Acrylic on Board. (28.5cm x 40cm) (Unframed) Blakeney is one of my favourite places. I spent many happy hours there in my youth. It is at its best on a very cold and icy winter's day when the visiting waders have control of the salt marshes. This part of Norfolk is home to...

Blakeney Quay, early morning, November

Acrylic on Board. (29.3cm x 40cm) (Unframed) This is the second view I have painted of Blakeney Quay. For this painting I moved my angle, sacrificing the river and the usual frontal view of the hotel and quayside buildings, in order to get a glimpse of the saltmarsh extendi...
