I had seen this view passing in the car so it was a bonus it was so gorgeous. I was surprised to see over 30 swans nestling in the sea grass, cleaning and having breaky, it was quite a sight!A very cold start, the sun rose to the left of the picture and the...

I was itching to get out yesterday and was a lovely afternoon, I went to Chidham (West Sussex) and walked to the coast with a view across the water to Bosham. There was some gorgeous fluffy clouds when I arrived, I whipped out a board and drew with a brush the...

Last week I went to Bosham early morning and as I finished ‘Bosham Harbour’ #223 I turned 90 degrees and saw this scene, so I whipped out another board and got the composition down (before the boats moved) but ran out of steam to paint on site so I painted...

What a great place to paint! So many options it was hard to choose until I saw this scene, when I couldn’t take my eyes from it. It was a great sky day too, I wanted to do some cloud studies but this scene won! It was Sunday morning, and the sailing club...

Beautiful morning today, with a warm light and fluffy clouds. I planned what I wanted to paint before I got there, as this is the third painting of this view recently. I felt I hadn’t really got to grips with this swoop of this hill but I’m pleased...
