This was painted over two windy mornings at Dungeness.

A painting made on an Autumn evening facing towards the setting sun.

I painted this in one go sitting on Glastonbury Tor during the July '06 heatwave. I was driving between Winchester and Cornwall and decided to stop off and indulge in a spot of artistic creativity while assorted Glastonbury types peered over my shoulder as I painted.

I painted this at the end of the day as the sun was setting, making strong colours and casting strong shadows. The subject is a common sight in the south of France.

This was painted at low tide on the beach at the Warren, Folkestone, on a bright day.

This is a painting of The Warren, an area of land by the sea at the foot of some white cliffs near Folkestone. In this painting you can see these cliffs and a concrete esplanade which I believe was built in the second world war.

Painted over three days on the road to Canterbury looking west.

This study was painted on a cold, bleak and very windy day, looking west along the coast at Sandgate. I stopped painting at the point when I couldn't take the weather any more.

Painted at Gurnard's Head in Penwith.

This was painted on a scorching hot day in April, standing on the cliffs to the west of St Ives.

Penwith is a favourite spot of mine to go painting, as it is of many other Cornish painters who I rate highly. This area of Cornwall is west of St Ives and the Cornish coastal path runs along the top of the cliffs there.

Painted over three days at Perranarworthal between Falmouth and Truro.

This painting was inspired by a similar image I saw by an English painter called Jane Patterson. She painted a similar view of Nare Head which made a strong impression on me, so I decided to go to Portscatho and paint my own version. At the time I had also been looking at work by artists such as Bonnard and the Fauves. I tried to include something of their freedom and spontaneity and not obsess over details but enjoy the act of painting itself.

This was painted from the same spot as the above painting but looking west.
