Seascape Gallery

I think the shore line of England is  incredible and I want to paint many more views like this. From Lindisfarne to Hastings and Scotland to Cornwall the subjects are endless and always a pleasure. I hope you like this minute but growing collection.

“Approaching storm, Bamburgh.”

 

What a stunning location for a storm to brew up in and this watercolour captures the drama as the sky turns angry and steams into the Northumberland coast.  Image size 74 x 22 cm  Framed size 102 x 49 cm

“ Harbourside... Scarborough”

 

The busy quayside at Scarborough provides a wealth of subjects for an artist and I greatly enjoyed painting this watercolour

Image size approx 64 x 28   

Framed size approx 88 x 53cms

“ Passing Storm... Whitby.”

 

It seemed like a bad move at the time, just arriving when a stormy downpour was washing the rooftops. Minutes later the clouds cracked open and the sun burst through.  Watercolour on Whatman Paper.

Image size 71 x 46.  Framed size approx 101 x 75.cm

“ A Life at Sea... Lindisfarne.”

 

These aged fishing boats have seen years of action and in retirement they still serve the fishermen of Holy Island. Providing shelter and storage for tackle and floats.

“ Fortress by the Sea...”

 

Bamburgh Castle Stands alone on the Northumberland coast with a history reaching back to the 6th century.

Now besieged by tourists and artists, my painting looks beyond towards the sea.

Oil Painting on canvas. Size 55 x 18

 

“Lobsterpots...”

 

The tiny fishing harbour of Dunure in Ayrshire held this collection of fisherman's stuff which turned me on in no time at all. I just had to paint it. Am I a masochist or what?

“ Grand Harbour... With ship”

             (For want of a better title)

 

 This really is Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta in fact. A massive fortress built by the Knights of St John, who with great foresight constructed the enormous defences to withstand the might of the Ottoman Turks who plundered the Mediterranean Seas. The siege of Malta in 1565 was to become the greatest in History. It was a lot quieter when we were there.This is a great Watercolour as well Size 66 x 39 cm -Image. Framed size 94 x 70 cm

Framed size 94 x 70

“ Walking on Gold...”

 

              Oil on canvas size 120 x 60 cm

 

This is Filey, on the Yorkshire coast.  The Beach, which is backed by high cliffs and the high sweep of land jutting into the North Sea, known as the Brig. A single figure walks the watery sands in the evening sunlight and forms the focus of this simple, yet stunning oil painting. Framed with 3.5” silver/ gold frame with an Ivory coloured slip.

Guide price £2000.00

“Beachcombers I”

 

Oil on Canvas size 51 x 41 cm

 

This is another of the Filey Trio I have recently painted and forms a pair with the one below. The same evening light and the simple subject caught in the halo of sunlight.

Framed to match the one above.

 

 

“ Beachcombers II ”

 

Oil on Canvas size 51 x 41 cm

 

Two figures, Boy and Girl, looking for shells in the sea washed sands of Filey beach. A painting capturing all the warmth and light of a prefect summers evening on the beach. Framed as a pair.

 

 “Staithes...”

 

The Yorkshire coast has some wonderful harbours, and the small fishing village at Staithes is truly great.

Only Cornwall can really give it some serious competition. This watercolour is on Whatman Paper size 50 x 46 cms
