Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire
Medium: Oils on canvas board
Original size: 40 x 50
The cliffs were alive with the sound of screaming sea birds.
Walking along the tops, the light was playing on the vertical chalk edifice.
The sea was battering the stone outcrops, sending foam spewing up the cliff face, then falling back on already crashing waves.
I wanted to capture the fury of the North Sea and the magical atmosphere created by the sea mist and oxygenated air.

The snow lay heavily in the allotment in front of the parish church.
I wanted to capture the wintry light and give the spectator the chance to imagine the smell of the snow on the ground and in the air.
I painted this scene in oil paint on canvas in the summer when the allotment was ablaze with the colours of the chrysanthemums.
I used the oil pastels to bring out the strong structures on view.

Late Morning, looking towards Hull from Harland Rise
Medium: Oils on canvas
Original size: 40 x 30
One early Summer morning I was driving towards Beverley with my easel and paints in the car.
I came across the horses in the field overlooking Hull.
The owner and his son were beginning to take bales of hay over to the horses.
As the horses sensed our presence they began to trot towards us.
I had to paint them from a distance as they would have demolished the easel in their search for food.
I tried to capture the light glancing off their coats and the haziness of Hull with a few landmarks in the magical early morning light.

I have painted the cattle as they arrive from farms in the surrounding area.
They are being received by Mr Jim Cornfoot, the Master of the Pastures for Beverley Westwood. The cattle are initially inspected before they are released to graze for the summer and autumn.
I find I am drawn to their trusting nature and innocence. I find each one has a unique personality and will react differently to the situation in which they find themselves.
I enjoy painting their wonderful hides and the quirkiness of their movements at times.

Summer Pasture on the Westwood, Beverley
Medium: Oils on canvas
Original size: 76 x 51
I really enjoy painting the cattle as they meander across the gently sloping hills of the Westwood just outside Beverley.
On this particular day it was extremely hot and they wandered in freedom from one cool shade to another.
This year they wandered in small groups with the more matronly cows looking after the younger ones.
Whilst I was sketching this group under the tree, one broke away from rest and acted like a scout.
It stood its ground and faced me, keeping one eye on the grass and the other on my easel!
With the choice of colours I tried to capture the lovely Summer light and the gorgeous russet colours of their hides.

In the dark, cold and dirty shed, this engine seemed to illuminate its surroundings with a sophistication of design that the other less fortunate engine could not match!

Cedar’s Patch, Christmas at Beverley Minster
Medium: Oils
Original size: 98cm x 79cm
The tree looked so alive with its branches stretching in all directions as though greeting the morning sun.
Snow had fallen during the night and the snow clad Beverley Minster seems to hover protectively over the community.

River traffic, old barges on the River Hull
Medium: Oils
Original size: 99cm x 79cm
The two barges waiting together looked like two mature and seasoned matriarchs, facing constant changes whether they are seasonal or tidal.
I enjoyed painting such vivid, lively colours.

I was fascinated by the dappled patterns created by light falling on leaf shapes in this quiet corner of France.
My palette was filled with Summer colours!

Venetian Invitation
Medium: Oils
Original size: 75cm x 60cm
Venice is a wonderful place for romantic assignments and intrigue.
I tried to capture the languid air of Venice in late afternoon and also, the play of light on brick and water.
