Winter Watercolours

It's been a busy week , what with a run of spectacular sunsets that cried out to be painted and a couple of large oil paintings on the easel. Here is a selection of this week's paintings.

" A Quick Surf Before Lunch"

A surf in the sun before lunch, what a great way to work up an appetite. I caught this guy striding back across the beach with a purpose on this hot day
on Woolacombe Beach. Framed 12 x 9 inches available here.

Have a good day!

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you....!" - A day in the life of an artist.

"Summer Morning , Lee Bay" watercolour 12 x 9 inches. available here.

As an artist that likes to paint outdoors, sometimes you get the occasional curious passerby. It's all part of the experience. It's fun to share a few moments with someone who is interested in what you are doing.
I have to tell you that on this blissfully, peaceful Summer morning in a remote bay on the North Devon coastline, Paul Kenton and I were deep into our paintings when the silence was shattered by a four wheel drive SUV that screamed by, stopped, then reversed at speed to stop feet away from us. Out leapt a middle-aged woman, kitted out in high heel stilettos, leopard skin leggings, a sequinned top and a fur jacket, full make-up and hair pomped up high. Who then spoke at one hundred miles in an hour in an accent that was hard to make out, but definitely not English, for at least fifteen minutes, all the while snapping away furiously with her iPhone as we painted.  Then she jumped back into her monster truck , blew us a few kisses and wheel spun off.

All in a sleepy morning's work in North Devon.

Starting to feel some warmth!

For all you sunset lovers out there. It's great to feel the February sun starting to warm up outside the studio window today. Heck, I've even got the doors open! "Midsummer Croyde Bay" watercolour, 12 x 9 inches framed .

"Bring on the Spring" Woolacombe watercolour painting.

Joy of joys, how good does a sunny day feel today? It's a real tonic after the deluge .

"Winter Jewels" - Woolacombe beach watercolour.

I don't know about you, but this current run of wet and extremely windy weather , has had me yearning for some sunny, dry days. This is a scene that warms me inside , a gentle surf rolling in and a glowing sunset, yes, it's February, they can happen, honest!

"Winter Jewels" watercolour 12 x 9 inches framed.

"Are you going in?" watercolour Woolacombe Bay.

Another cracking day at the beach today.With lighter winds and blue skies my brother and I headed down towards Putsborough Sands to paint looking back across the bay to Morte Point and Woolacombe. Every now and then the odd car would rock up with a couple of keen aquanauts looking for a "more sheltered wave". I thought that I would try the panoramic block from Hahnemuhle today. I really liked the format for the landscape setting that we chose. Not too sure on the weave in the paper though, a sthey have it running from top to bottom which seemed a tad strange for a landscape format?
"Are you going in? " watercolour 20 x 8 inches. Available.£195.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas everyone!"
