New Painting – ‘Bedruthan Steps’

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

 

 

This a very interesting place called Bedruthan Steps on the north coast of Cornwall

 

Coastal erosion has worn back the cliff face leaving huge outcrops of volcanic rock

scattered along the length of the beach. These towering monoliths are surrounded

by water at high tide, but at low tide the beach is acccessible and you can walk

around and between them. Access to the beach is via a steep staircase, recently

rebuilt by the National Trust.  It’s not for the faint hearted or unfit – the descent

(and the climb back up) is steep and the steps are often wet and slippery. The gate

providing access to the steps is locked between November and February.

 

With this Oil painting I wanted to convey the tremendous scale of these monoliths

and also the height of the cliffs as well. The flowers and the turquoise sea complete 

the scene.

New Painting – ‘Late sun at Port Isaac’

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

 

Here is a new Oil painting of Port Isaac down in Cornwall. It is very famous for

being the location where the TV series Doc Martin was filmed. I believe it has been

running for many years now and is still as popular as ever.

 

The painting itself has all the Ingredients of my harbour scenes but I particuarly

like the tide racing up towards the buildings.

 

To view the Painting go to Originals or Paper Limited Editions
