Feeding The ducks oil 7 x 5


This is an "Alice Inspired" painting. We spend a lot of time on Walt and Alice's boat during the summer. Our favourite thing to do is to toodle into st Michaels harbour and see what's going on . We usually end up feeding the ducks.(I have an 8 year old who loves it). Alice is always saying "Oh you should paint that". She's got me to paint weddings on the water , dogs on boats,my son making sandcastles , and many more subjects that would never occur to me to paint. This is the "Crab Claw" restaurant in St Michaels. So thank you Alice for another great Idea!!

Great egret 36 x 24 oil

. I felt a larger painting was long overdue. Ripples are so bloody hard to paint, but Egrets are always fun!!

Night Sail, 7 x 5 oil SOLD

Spending the night on the water gives you a totally different experience to the normal afternoon sail. I loved the ghostly apparition of a passing sailboat gliding silently across the Bay in the twilight.

Casing The Joint oil 5 x 12''


This painting shows opportunistic gulls waiting to check out left belongings on the beach. I just loved painting this picture..
