Contemporary Acrylic and Mixed Media Paintings

Ocean and
Water

The beauty of the sea is ever changing in light and mood from the gentlest of ripples to the most powerful of crashing waves. Like most people I feel connected to and fascinated by the sea. I now include rivers in my love of water. Water, in all its forms, has the ability to sooth, be a source of fun, and food, yet it has such awesome life changing power. Most of my paintings are inspired by the coast of Cornwall, a place I am connected to and visit often. Others inspired by other coasts and rivers I have visited.

cascading river flowing through trees - Yosemite

Pebbles on the shore line with water trapped amongst them

Beautiful Golden sky reflected over calm water with strong shadows on the pebbled shore

A collection of beautifully textured pebbles and a little seaweed found on the beach

Shore Breaker, a wave breaks on the shore in green and turquoise rippling into the deeper blue after crashing on rocks

Sounds of the Sea. Blue and purple pebbles washed and splashed by the encroaching sea. The knock sound made by the pebbles as they move, splashing and shush-ing, trickling of sea water

Pebble Pool, mixed media, enhancing the textures and colours found in a pebble pool

Beside the Flow of water. Still water reveals colourful pebbles which are then distorted by the flow of the sea

Pick and Mix pebbles not sweets but a range of colours and textures found on the shore

rocks on the edge of the sea gently glowing in the evening light

Quiet Light. Looking over heavily textured rocks towards the sea's horizon with a soft light playing on the nearby ripples.

Summer Memories, painted from a photograph taken on holiday. A lovely walk along this beautiful east cost beach in Barbados. The heat, the sound of the waves all come rushing back.

Falling Tide. Crashing waves, leaving ripples on the sand as the tide starts to fall. reflecting an evening sky

'On the Sea Shore', a scallop shell damaged but lovely washed up on a pebbled beach. Lovely contrast of the delicate and patterned she'll against the hard and smooth pebbles

Light on the Water. light reflecting off ripples in the water as it flows around pebbles in the stream.

The Rough and the Smooth. Textural and colour contrasts of the old rusting anchor chain, the smooth hard pebbles and the piece of seaweed.

Rushing Waves. Blue and turquoise waves crashing on the shore and dissipating into small ripples

Warm Reflection. Red sky reflected in a river flowing through moorland

The sunset gives a golden glow to the otherwise clear sea which reveals multicoloured pebbles by the shore

Summer's Shore.jpg

A river runs through an autumnal forest flowing around rocks and reflection the finely colours of autumn

A river flowing through a shady forest falls over rocks into sunshine - a sunlit waterfall

Night on the river, moonlit and mysterious, a place of enchantment
