Original artwork description:

Thorpeness is a unique village a couple of miles north of Aldeburgh on the east Suffolk coast. The land was originally bought by the wealthy Ogilvie family from the 1850's and was developed as an exclusive holiday village from 1910. Today it has hardly changed and is a lovely quiet place to visit. We walked there along the almost deserted beach in late October and I was taken by the wild sea and the family enjoying their picnic although as the beach shelves very steeply, it is not very suitable for bathing.
