We are pleased to announce that the gallery is now fully re-opened. We operate a maximum of 4 people in the gallery at any time to allow social distancing.

During the summer I always like to spend some time in Perranporth, North Cornwall. During my visit in 2013 I spent much time walking along the beach at low tide into the town for something to eat at my favourite local fish and chip shop "Pickwicks".

I love the ripples in the sand left at low tide and took some photographs and made some sketches. When I was back in the studio I set to work on the oil painting above.

I like to break the rules of composition and the bottom heavy layout of this canvas is something I thought might work for this subject.

The painting is nearing completion in the studio and I will post more photos soon.
