Porthmeor Beach Sunset

This time Porthmeor Beach St Ives , looking towards Mans Head. Looking forward to some new trips and inspiration for paintings in the New Year.

Godrevy Light House

I began work on a series of small paintings this week, I came across this photo I took whilst taking a walk along the beach at Godrevy, such images and the memories it provokes really gets me excited about painiting .

Herreshoff Defenders




Some ideas I have been playing around with for future yachting paintings. They dipict some of the famous Americas Cup Defenders designed by Nat Herreshoff they  including Vigilant, Colonia, Defender and Columbia.

There appears to be a negativity about close up deck views for yachting paintings but I love the power and drama the viewpoint gives. what do you think?

Lantic Bay  Surf 21x42

A friend of mine recommended a visit to Lantic Bay when we visited Fowey. I said it was stunning, but a bit of a track, he said he'd never been down to the beach as its such a long climb. I'll forgive him as the painting that it inspired is one of my favourites, it almost painted itself

Fowey River Gallery Exhibition Summer 2011

Atlantic Surf 21inchx42inch

What a wonderful feeling to stand on the rocks and watch the waves roll in.

The Fower River Gallery exhibition was a wonderful chance to try out my waves on a large scale. I was very pleased with the results. Hope you like them. 2012 will certainly see more work in this format.

The waves crash into the narrow confines of Freshwater Bay leaping over the rocks scattered across the bay. Painting Available

The developers want to destroy it by building a rotting seaweed filed harbour to be used by the odd visiting gin palace in the summer. Never mind the thousands who sit on its beaches throughout the year.
