End of a Woolacombe Bay Summer.

After a warm, September weekend of slower paced life in our little coastal village, it really does feel as if Summer has come to an end.
Monday morning opened up the week with a storm knocking on the door, heavy rain and strong winds, are raining ripe apples down upon my wooden studio roof.
After a nondescript month of weather in August, the beginning of September has been a joy.
Not only for the slower pace of life here, but it came with some warm days, good waves and stunning sunsets, providing some fantastic subjects to get my brushes moving.

Here is a selection of some of the paintings from the past few weeks.
I hope you enjoy them

Have a great day!

It doesn't get much better than this. Picture a warm evening on a shell beach in a little secluded cove, feasting on a genuine Sri Lankan curry, and the best bit?.....it's right here in Devon!

Have a great day!

"The Warmth of The Sun" - Spring's coming!

What a joy to have three days of warm, sunny weather , groomed by a southerly wind that started out from Spain. Spirits lift, limbs move with a bit more bounce and the creative pool gets filled up with gorgeous light and strong shadows.

One of my favourite things about living right on the coast, is the smell of gorse when it is in flower. A warm, heady scent of coconut and honey, with a bit of musk thrown in. Delightful!

"Spring Surf Checker" - 12" x 9" watercolour painting

Sometimes that Spring urge gets you all suited and booted  and waxed up, only to get to the beach and find out it's still freezing in a fresh onshore wind and the surf is junk.

This guy was keen as mustard today, I think that he stood there checking longer than he actually surfed for. Don't worry my friends, warmer weather is just around the corner.

Have a great day!

Are you getting that Spring feeling?

Do you get that pleasant feeling when the calendar flips over to the first of March? It's starting to get lighter and brighter every day and the creative wellspring is rising. I'm itching to get outdoors and paint again.
It feels like I'm ready to burst with ideas and places to paint this year. Winter has a habit of doing that to a creative soul, which is one of the positives of being cabin bound for a good few months.

I hope you get some of that Spring feeling today!
