Holme, Ebbing Tide, Winter - oil
Over the Fields towards Brancaster Staithe - oil
Only the Tide and Me - oil on board
In my paintings I aim to capture a sense of place, to evoke a sense of time in response to the unique variety of light found along the North Norfolk coast. The vast expanse of sand and dunes, the tidal mudflats, salt marshes and sea lavender combine to form the basis of my paintings. The forever changing light and the ebb and flow of the tide never fails to draw me to paint from morning till dusk.
The paintings also act as a personal diary. I work en Plein Air throughout the year, using oil on paper or canvas. The images are my words to remember the events of the day. They record the change in weather, the sensation of cold, and light reflecting on the sand just for a few moments.
