An atmospheric, twilight, Venetian, view across the Canali di San Marco towards the iconic San Giorgio Maggiore, with moored gondolas in the foreground . Acrylic on a 1 inch deep wooden support, so is ready to hang. It would also look good framed.

A glorious sunset over the Northumberland coastline, inspired this creation in pan pastel, pastel, pencil and acrylic. I love drawing sunsets as they draw the day to the end, bringing the promise of a new day.

Created from a photograph taken looking out to a stormy sea off the coast of Northumberland, England. It is created using layers of pan pastel applied with sponges and sponge applicators, with finer detail added using acrylic paint. It was created after a tasking day of teaching as I looked for some ‘calm in the storm’ of the day.

This painting was inspired by a photo that I took when were on holiday last year. The as sunset and sea colours were beautiful and such a contrast to the dark rocks and crags of the cliffs. This oil painting is unframed but does not have to be as the painting is continued on the canvas sides.

A Good Morning Pier is of the pier in Deal, Kent waking up to the morning. The pier is stretching out into the distance and the sea is calm and still. The painting was created using watercolour and acrylic paint and the pebbly beach was painted using a splattered technique. It is varnished and does not need a frame.

Lights in Motion displays a Ferris wheel on one of Blackpool's pier. It is reflecting colourful light and it spins around. It is also accompanied by other fairground attractions lit up in light. It depicts Blackpool Illuminations and painted in watercolour paint. The painting is varnished and does not need a frame.

Harbour Haven is of a small fishing boat in Polperro, Cornwall. It is painted using watercolour and acrylic paint. Although the boat may seem lonely at first, the more you look at the painting, the more you realise it is protected and surrounded by a small village away from the crowds. The painting is varnished and does not need a frame.

Coastal calm is a mix media painting. It is of the beach and sea from a birds eye view perspective. The sea is painted in watercolour and acrylic paint and the sand is created by mixing sugar with paint to create a 3D textured effect. The painting is varnished and does not need a frame.

I was mesmerised by the sea from the back of a boat. This painting depicts my experience of this watching the land move away as we came home. There is a little silver leaf underpinning this oil painting, so it looks different depending on the light, thereby adding to the sense of movement in the painting.
