On The Shore

 
 
Mixed Media 17insx8ins  approx
This painting has a bit of the local coast on it. Look at the left hand side and it could be the bit of shore you are standing on looking out to sea. The time of day could be early morning  the light not being strong and the glimmer of the  day.

Where The Land Meets The Sea

Mixed Media 10×15inches
W th a bit of this and that, cardboard bits PVC glue  ans of course Axrylic, this painting is of clifffs as you can see and is about the texture,the paint marking.
There is nothing like the dramatic impact that cliffs can make where the land meets the sea,strange things happen,contrasts  different natural happenings [...]

Not A Perfect Painting

This is by no means a perfect painting,probably not finished and maybe even to be painted over but there are possibilities even here, Somehow I even like the light dark contrast and line showing in the middle from a previouse painting,what would you do?stop or start another one….decisions.

Inspired by yesterdays visit to Hayling Island .

Exploring the horizon line and the flatness.
Mixed nedia but mainly acrylic

I shall certainly be returning to this artist again as he paid 3 or [...]

In 1903 Herbert Bernard John Everertt and his wife moved to Dorset. Here he bought a yatch the ‘Warlus’ and spent much of each year cruising the South Coast of England.
The dramatic image of Lulworth Cove dates from this time and the viewpoint from the sea probably gives a much clearer idea of [...]
