High Tide

HIGH TIDE 20 " x 16 " Oil on Canvas

here's another painting that will be on show in " THE QUEEN"S THEATRE" [click for info] exhibition this month. I loved the greeny quality of the high tide water playing off with all the lush growth on the cliff edge.

Floating Gold

Painted after a special morning light, inspired me back in early October. I just loved the multitude of different colours , and all the different light bouncing around in the wet sand and tidepools.

This painting will be on show in my upcoming exhibition at 'The Queen's Theatre" starting on Monday Nov 9th 2009.

Low Tide

Well, it looks like the last of the warm days have gone! It's back to wind and rain, and grey.

Here's a shot from the last swell, low tide looking oh so nice!

Gull Rock

Another stunning day on the coast , warm sunshine, great views.

Warm Autumn Sun

Warm Autumn Sun, I can't believe how lovely the past few days have been, today in the sun it was just toasty!

I know it's bound to change soon, but enjoy it while it's here!

Just Peelin'

A lot of wind but some beautiful peelers.

I spent the day with a painting workshop, teaching a lovely lady called Lisa . We spent a fantastic day over in Lee Bay sheltered from the breeze, great autumnal light and some crazy skies with dramatic cloud shapes.

October Skies oil on canvas board 14 x 10 , this painting will be on display as part of my

exhibition High Tides & Rolling Hills at the Queen's Theatre Gallery from Nov 9th -Dec 11th 2009

Hardcore

Half term brings the hordes .The beach appeared studded with black dots.Looked like the Dday landings. Hardcore surfers and a multitude of VW vans , the Boardriders held their final surf comp of the summer season, in heavy onshore conditions, full respect to all who paddled out.

Loved these two hardy and determined sliders eager to get to the ocean's edge.
WBSC surf comp camp.
Family fun in the tidepools.
I loved this one, made me think of Chorlton and the Wheelies [that's going back some!]
Beach invasion force.
