Pilton Church.
Pilton Church February 2014. My local church just behind where I live and twice a week we hear the bells. Not a religious person but I love walking around the old graveyard here. I am still trying to find a printer/scanner big enough to manage this picture. My intention is to make a run of limited additions.
With my more Buddhistic and Eastern beliefs I’ve managed to incorporate a rather nice OM into the evergreen tree on the left.
The Gateway To The Coast.
Pen & Ink drawing of wind blown trees by an old gate at the top of North Lane nr Georgham, North Devon. Along this road you can visit some the finest beaches in the UK. Croyde, Putsborough, Woolacombe and Saunton. This is now in print as a limited addition.

Saunton Beach.
Unison Pastels are my favourite chalks (720mm x 490mm) Saunton Beach in North Devon. With approaching storm clouds. I often like to add trails left by aircraft in the skies (top right) I like the idea of people flying abroad for adventure!
Morning Dew Along The River Barle.
Watercolour, acrylic & pastel (490mm x 560mm) Early morning walk along the River Barle on Exmoor, with the dew on the grass and early morning mist. A beautiful days walk of 10 miles then back to Withypool.
Field Leading To Manning’s Pit.
This is a mixed media painting of a wonderful stretch of English countryside near to where I live in Pilton, North Devon, England. There is a rather sad fate hanging over it’s head as developers are hoping to build a housing estate on it. For all residents this is a terrible thing to happen as most of us have spent our childhoods playing in the river, fields and woods of this beautiful area. Let’s hope it stays that way for our children to enjoy too.
Boys At Crow Point.
Painting of two boys playing amongst the driftwood at Crow Point in North Devon, England. Mixed media with acrylic & pastel (450mm x 590mm) Just completed with mount on the drawing board.
Pannier Market Pigeons.
Pigeons feeding on grain in Barnstaple’s famous Pannier Market. (380mm X 560mm) Acrylic & pastel pencil. I loved they way the summer sun shone though an open door onto the market’s floor tiles. North Devon. Al
