Summer Evening from Brackenbury |
| The spaces and shapes created by the late evening
light, the shingle spit and the shapes and tones
of the huts interested me, and the way the sea ‘glows’
with light late in the day |

Pines Near Ramsholt Panorama |
| I have been exploring this scene, seeing how different
washes of colour work. Water is important where
I let the colours create their own mixes by blending
when wet. |

Smartening Up |
| I wanted to create a composition of these birds
intent on their ‘toilet’, using limited
colour and careful placing on the paper |

Punts at Cambridge |
| The abstract shapes and using colour as tone are
the main components here. I painted the work from
sketches turned upside down, to paint purely the
shapes and colours, not putting right way up again
until very late on. |

Sea Urchin II |
| I have done 2 studies of this shell, experimenting
with the effects of light. Here the light comes
from 2 imaginary sources. It is also an exercise
in the rigidity of the use of tone to create light
and design in the overall work. |

'Four Candles', no problem |
| This is our local DIY store, which sells everything!
The shapes created by the jumble of ‘stuff’
and the reflections of the street opposite in the
glass creates abstract interest. This is another
work which I worked on from ‘upside down’
images, to focus on the shapes. |

site of a quarry where the foundations of Cliff
Quay power station were placed when it was demolished. |

Yellow Flag Patterns |
| Patterns in nature interest me and developing
a drawing creates shapes unique to the plant you
are involved with, in this case interlocking triangles. |

Nastursiums |

of twice as tall as wide. I wanted to concentrate
attention of the abstract shapes and vivid yellow
green of the leaves placed in the top ‘golden
section’ of the work. |

Museum Entrance, Ipswich |
| On leaving Ipswich Museum after a productive sketching
trip, I was captivated by the light and abstract
shapes in the hall. The light of the doorway makes
a centrepiece. I painted it totally in shapes, using
Braque as an inspiration. |

The Survivors |
| I have painted this group of trees over and over
since 1987. After the storm, the forest near Woodbridge,
Suffolk was devastated. However, some trees still
stood in the midst of the damage, which is why I
call them ‘The Surviviors’. |

Hollelsey Common, Soft Light |
| Another work from my favourite woodland near Woodbridge,
Suffolk. I was inspired by the composition created
by the bright light framed by the different species
of trees, the twisted birches being a particular
characteristic of this woodland. |

Erosion, Valley of Desolation, Yorkshire |
| There is a wonderful walk from Wharfedale in Yorkshire
up to Simon’s Seat. This goes up this delightful
secret valley, which was stripped of trees by a
storm a long time ago. It’s stark beauty and
tumbling rocks led me to capture their shapes and
atmosphere. |
