Oil on board, 31cm wide by 23cm high I painted this in the studio but it was based on paintings done on the beach at Polzeath in 2019, at sunset out of season. There were still plenty of people on the beach, especially many surfers taking advantage of the empty waters.
Oil on board, 23cm wide by 23cm high I painted this standing on the beach in Woolacombe one evening on my trip there at the start of the year. It was absolutely stunning weather for February so we were gloriously lucky!
Oil on board, 23cm x 31cm This painting was painted down near Chichester in Sussex on a fantastic painting trip with one of my best painting buddies. It has such lovely memories for me.
Oil on board, 30cm x 30cm I painted this one day at home from a photo that completely inspired me - I loved the light on the wet sand below.
Oil on board, 25cm x 12.5cm I painted this in my studio from photos taken on a trip down there. Often I don't have enough time to paint every scene that I see, so I need to carry on with a subject in the studio. I loved the muted tones on this day particularly, against those bright oranges on the boats.
Oil on board, 30cm x 30cm I have been to the seaside so many times recently and done sketches and taken photos, and this was a culmination of the both, trying to get as many colours as possible into that sky and sand.
Oil on board, 25cm x 18cm, unframed I painted this in Bosham Quay in Sussex one weekend and it was gorgeously blustery yet still super busy, just at the end of lockdown and everyone was desperate to escape the indoors. I loved the hustle and bustle of the people around the seafront.
