Summer Scenes - New Paintings for 2008

Memories of Summer holidays in Cornwall when I was a child have inspired me to paint some Summer scenes with children................... they really are very addictive to paint and conjur up happy memories of playing on the beach, making new friends, kite flying and building sand castles.....all painted in oils in a loose style.... all 10"x14" oil on canvas.

The Royal Yacht Hotel, St Helier, Jersey

Its been a bit of a journey for me, from start to finish, but I am pleased and proud to say that finally the 2 seascape commissions I started at the end of 2007 are now in their new home in the Reception Foyer at the beautiful luxury Royal Yacht Hotel, St Helier, Jersey. The largest painting measuring 2m x 1.2m took up most of my studio - the paintings were a pleasure to paint on such a large scale, very liberating to work with such big canvases on a subject that is so dear to my heart - the sea!! They are based on the Fastnet range of abstract seascapes that I completed in 2007 - this range has proved to be my most popular to date.
