A painting of the road leading from Heanton to Ashford in North Devon. Through the summer I’ve cycled this route many times and loved how the tree’s shadows dance on the tarmac. Sadly this painting is very difficult to photograph to show the depth of layers and softness! Acrylic on 800 x 600mm canvas. Al









A move in the right direction technique wise. Never tried painting a sunset and rarely see a full one now because Pilton Village is blocked from such things. I’m still attempting to freshen things up and become more spontaneous and gladly this is going that way. This is Ashford Strand near Heanton in North Devon, on the River Taw. In the distance is Fremington Quay. I fished here as a boy and now you can drink coffee at the Riverside Cafe and eat at the Braunton Inn which used to be Heanton Court. This is oil on 36 x 36″ canvas. Al
