"Painting Hydra" a watercolour journey funded on Kickstarter

"High Noon, High Tide, Hydra Harbour"

Watercolour 9 x 5 inches.

This was one of the first watercolour location sketches that I painted upon my arrival on Hydra ( pronounced  EE-TH-RA ) a beautiful island just over an hour's sail away from Athens, Greece.

With the successful funding of the " Painting Hydra " project on Kickstarter , I have just spent six days painting on this idyllic island , no cars, no bikes, just boats clinking and water lapping against the rocks , blue skies and gorgeous Greek light.

                                                   

                                                   Painting in the harbour on Hydra.

Over the next few weeks , I'll post some of the photos and paintings up from the trip.

Now that Autumn has firmly established itself on our shores. I will also be updating my Fine Art website with all of my available paintings.

Here's today's watercolour.

"Waiting for the tide, Watermouth Cove" watercolour painting.

I must have driven by this spot so many times and said to myself, "I have to go back and paint there!" So, I finally did. It's a beautiful little natural harbour on the North Devon Coast between Ilfracombe and Lynmouth.
It's my second painting for the upcoming RNLI fundraiser art exhibition October 25-27.
16 x 12 inches £295 framed.

To win a framed print of this painting, just "Subscribe to my blog" at the top of the right hand column. A winner will be drawn on Friday.
Last week's winner is Cher Pendarvis, congratulations! Your framed print is on it's way too you!

Have a great day!
