I am always in awe of the power of the sea. This painting is inspired by the many beaches in New South Wales, Australia where huge breakers leave you in no doubt of the immense forces at play. Even more remarkable is watching surf boarders who seem effortlessly to master the waves. Personally I willContinue reading “Waves”

At dusk the bridge starts a light show, an amazing sight and experience as the lights are softly reflected on the Thames. As theContinue reading “Southwark Bridge”
