"Summer at Saunton Sands" - Beach Hut Art


You've got to admit it, there is something about beach huts that just make you smile.Whether it is the romantic stripped down simplicity of a few possessions in an idyllic setting that make for an uncomplicated day of pleasure at the beach, or maybe that dream of owning a home where you can open the door and step out onto the sand, breathing in that salty , clean, fresh sea air? The huts at Saunton do just this, you can get in touch with Jules, if you fancy renting one for that special salty beach day!

"Backpeddlin' " - watercolour surf art.

Watercolour

"After pushing out a nose ride for as long as possible a graceful back step sets you up for the next one."
I've been playing with the idea of doing some surfing themed watercolours for awhile now,as my usual medium for them is either oil or acrylics. as soon as I started with this one, the whole process seemed to gel together, water , colour pigment and surfing seemed such perfect bedfellows. The bleed and fluidity that comes makes you feel  the water surface and wave action more instinctively. I will be doing more of these for sure!
Have a creative weekend!

" Summer "


24 x 9 inches watercolour on paper.
With the run of inclement weather that our little island has been subject too, it was great to sit in the warm, dry surroundings of my studio and paint up a theme that's dear to a lot of us, hot, sunny days on the beach. This one is on it's way to a customer in Australia.
