Mixed media painting using acrylic, watercolour & pastel (530mm x 370mm).
A wonderfully exposed beach and dune area where the rivers Taw & Torridge meet in North Devon. Usually quiet and not too crowded. It’s also a nature reserve and training area for the Royal Marines. It is slowly being eroded by the elements along with its ship wrecks. Please see my The Sea Mack at Crow Point pen and ink drawing. The picture on the left is the home of it’s new owner a perfect setting I think.
Pastel drawing of a hot and hazy summers day. Saunton Beach is a wonderfully long stretch a sand on the North Devon Coast, England. Used by surfers, kite surfers, although the carpark is perhaps going to be upping it’s prices.

Pen & Ink drawing of the Sea Mack. The wrecked ship lies at Crow Point in North Devon and is gradually deteriorating under the exposed beach and heavy tides. Soon to be no more I think. In colour the boat is brightly coloured with many coats of paint. Not a lot is know about this boat and it is referred to as, a fishing boat, a barge and a ferry tug. If anyone has any more information I’d love to know it’s full history.
This pen and ink illustration is now a signed print and is available from albrownartist.com.

Oil pastel on coloured paper. It’s a little like trying to paint with lipstick. (630mm x 480mm)
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.
