these first paintings are small.. so that it’s possible to experiment, it’s fairly easy to work outside on this canvas size and it dries quickly, trying to capture the perspectives of the beach and tide line is tricky and it takes a few attempts, also the horizon of the sea which I’ve yet to really master..

The first visitors i saw in winter on the estuary were Canada geese which I tried to capture here..

the first attempts at painting on canvas again after many years of photography feels like a different space to be in again, slow, tentative and hoping to develop into a full exhibition, although i can’t imagine not including some photographs..
