Peaceful Cornish Coast with sparkling sea and perfect light.

This painting is of the sun rising over Rinsey Head early one morning. Such a special moment on my own down on the rocks at the far western end of the beach. Love it.

Autumn Light
Autumn light on the sea at Poldu Cove on the Lizard Peninsular, one of my favourite beaches. Spectacular seas here in the winter as it is exposed to the full force of any southerly swell.

Kennack Sands
Stunning large seascape painting, oil on canvas, capturing one of my favourite places, Kennack Sands. This piece will be surely be the centrepiece to any room, as you step in to the emotion of the scene and feel the sea breeze on your face. A classic timeless painting.
Late September
View from the artist’s studio looking across the beach, Praa Sands, West Cornwall. The weather is changing with freshening winds and the last of the summer swimmers battle with the force of the approaching autumn swells.
Kennack Sands
Morning tide at Kennack Bay. Looking in an easterly direction towards Treleaver Cliffs and Black Head. A narrow spit, just visible, divides the beach in two. It was upon these rocks in a gale that a French steamer Maurice Bernard met her demise. All is peaceful now.
