A little late finishing this painting as it was started way back in the spring. The sky was fascinating, constantly shifting vertical shafts of light would fall, highlighting the sea, windy and hazy and bright all at the same time. Just the sort of weather I like

We have been having such a lot of mist this summer and I know there are many people out there who do not like it. For me cycling through this weather is wonderful especially first thing just after dawn. It’s like the world gives you another way of appreciating the landscape….different lighting and hidden views suddenly revealed….It’s kind of mysterious and enigmatic. Well here is a new painting among many underway about this wonderful changeable sublime weather we have here in Cornwall.

New painting. This came about through an artist in residence on Tresco Isles of Scilly. Each year I have the possibility to take part in Gallery Tresco’s artist in residence program. It usually only lasts for one week, and mostly the work I do during the residency continues to form a body of work that is exhibited at Gallery Tresco the following year.

Although the residency is located on Tresco usually I will have one or two visits to Bryher which is an outrageous place to experience the winter storms and Hell Bay is aptly named. The storms here are frightening.

Here is a new painting. It has been in progress for about 6 months and is a memory from several years back of many evenings watching Venus set in the west from where I built my first observatory.

Here is another new painting, again one that I have been coming back to over the last two years or so. We always have terrifically  exciting storms at the far end of Cornwall and the waves crashing against the cliffs can be terrifying at times…..I still cannot resist exploring these winter storms with sketchbooks and working these drawings and sketches into large scale artworks.

This is a painting I keep coming back to time and again……inspred from experiences of the winter storms on the Isles of Scilly during several artist in residencies that I took part in through Gallery Tresco on the Isles of Scilly. I first began work on this painting in 2009, it has gone through many stages and on occasion in various exhibitions, but somehow I have always managed to keep it. It is my most favorite painting, and every now and then I will take it of the wall and work a little bit more on it. Like nature it is a work in progress evolving and as ever it remains unfinished.
