    Warm Marshland Grasses

    Warm Marshland Grasses

    This large mixed media painting is part of an ongoing series of works informed by my many walks beside the vast marshlands of the Dee estuary. I first began this painting after a walk on a warm summers day. The air was warm and hazy and the marshland grasses swayed rhythmically in the peaceful summer breeze.

    ROCKY SHORES

    ROCKY SHORES

    This large mixed media artwork is inspired by the tiny islands that sit at the mouth of the Dee Estuary and their rocky shores. This small goup of tidal islands are called Little Eye, Middle Eye and the largest island Hilbre. It has lots of different textures and interesting marks and has been created from my studies of the coastline and the islands on my daily walks.

    The Moon and the Marshes

    The Moon and the Marshes

    This painting has been created on a handmade box canvas and is inspired by my many walks beside the Dee estuary and the marshes. Following the coastline of the River Dee the salt marshes provide the perfect environment for wildlife and they are especially beautiful beneath a night sky and a full moon.

    High Water

    High Water

    This mixed media abstract painting was created on a handmade box canvas after a walk beside the Dee estuary at high water. It is strongly advised not to walk out across the sands unless you know exactly the time of the next high tide. It is also very important to return to dry land two hours at least before high tide. It is easy to be caught out as the tide comes in with frightening speed. Sometimes, depending on weather conditions such as strong winds, tides can be much higher than expected.

    STILL WATERS

    STILL WATERS

    This painting was started after a walk beside the Dee estuary on a very still and quiet day. At times the estuary waters can be stormy. Last winter the weather was so bad and the tide was so high that it caused flooding as the waves crashed onto the land. This day however was very peaceful and the estuary waters were very still. These waters can be very deceptive though as beneath the surface of the water are strong undercurrents.

    Sea Glass

    Sea Glass

    As I walk along the beach I love to collect sea glass. These smooth pieces of glass are from broken bottles, jars and glass that have been discarded by man, left on the beach and then reclaimed by nature, recycled by the sea. It can take many years for the broken pieces of glass left on the shore to loose their sharp edges and become smooth and tactile as they are tumbled by the waves and currents of the sea. Slowly the surface of the glass loses it's shine and becomes pitted and frosty. Today because of the use of plastic bottles and containers and recycling there is far less glass tumbling in our seas and oceans.
