Pont Aven

This was a lovely walk along the river from the car park to a busy town filled with art galleries and ice cream cafes! This area is celebrated by artists seeking inspiration, Pont Aven in Brittany’s lush landscape and this quiet stretch of water offer an ever-shifting tapestry of reflections, leafy riverbanks, and gentle movement.

In this piece, soft translucent washes capture the serene rhythm of the river as it winds past the tree-lined banks. Layered watercolours play with light filtering through the foliage, casting deep, cool reflections onto the water’s surface while allowing the warmth of the Breton daylight to glow through.

Storm Brewing

Storm Brewing is an abstract watercolour that looks across the marsh and captures the last rays of light just before a deluge. I have tried to give a sense of the atmospheric tension, heavy skies, and quiet anticipation that precede a storm..

St Annes Beach

St Annes has always been one of my favourite coastal spots to paint. With this watercolor, my goal was to keep the composition open and light-filled, letting loose brushstrokes carry the atmosphere of the Lancashire shore. I chose a soft, natural colour palette to mirror the gentle tide lines and wide skies, and included a few of the coastal plants of this region.

Arnside

Few places offer a sense of space quite like the walk up Arnside Knot. This painting was inspired by a photograph I took during a walk along the ridge, where the trees frame sweeping views right across the tidal sands and waters of Morecambe Bay.

Capturing that wide open vista was a wonderful challenge—balancing the soft sky, the ever-shifting light over the bay, and the natural landscape of the Knot itself. It’s a piece that brings back the fresh air and breathtaking quiet of one of my favourite coastal walks.

Gibson Mill

Hardcastle Crags & Gibson Mill

Hardcastle Crags is one of those magic spots where history and nature intertwine effortlessly. This painting was inspired by a photograph I took on a walk through the wooded valley near Hebden Bridge, coming upon the historic Gibson Mill nestled beside the water.

I wanted to capture the quiet, timeless charm of the scene—the contrast of the historic stone building tucked into the lush green woodland canopy, and the gentle reflections resting on the millpond where people used to skate in winter!
