Quick basic drawing down now to start this painting!
ABOVE THE VALLEY
WOODY BAY TODAY!
A warm afternoon at Woody Bay in North Devon. I spent the time with a little sea swimming and sketching in view of another large acrylic painting. Great to relax in the sun and take in the wonderful view. The walk down to the beach was somewhat longer than I recall and the return a great cardio workout! Al
NEW CANVASES A NEW BEGINNING!
FINISHING TOUCHES
Just a few pictures of me working in my studio. I hate having my picture taken so when a friend took these I decided for once to post some! 🤔
OLD PEN & INKS
Someone enquired about this old pen and ink drawing I did some time ago of Clovelly Village. After a rummage in the attic I discovered the last remaining prints. Had an enjoyable hour adding watercolour paint to them! 😊
TOWARDS BAGGY
An acrylic on 1000 x 800mm canvas of Baggy Point in North Devon. On a cycle ride I stopped for a break and looked out over this view. I was struck by the white weathered rocks which seemed to enhance the rock strata. This composition took quite a while as my attention was elsewhere, I dipped in and out and for me lacked the impetuous I normally achieve. With that said the finished image surprisingly works! Al
AMELIA REID IN PERFORMANCE!
My daughter in another production in London at The Cockpit Theatre performing A Cinema Retrospective! She is coming to the end of her four years Adult Acting Degree and will soon be auditioning for work. She is the one in the flat cap. Mum would be proud! 😊
DOWN TO SPEKE’S
Forcing myself to commit to another composition after a break. Once the initial marks are made there is a certain compulsion to continue, to see it through to completion. Perhaps this will rekindle the urge to continue. This painting is now complete acrylic on panel 610 x 400mm.
AUTUMN AT SAUNTON
An experiment using quite a coarse canvas. It is of a view looking out of Saunton Sands from a lay-by on the hill. Acrylic on 720 x 350mm canvas.
FOUR PAINTINGS
Four paintings from my past, when I began to believe!

My family on an Autumn day, a wet Westward Ho beach with mum, twins, Harry & Colin.

A Linhay on the Braunton Marsh which became a breakthrough in my painting! Al
