Frozen Fields, Oil 20×30cm

Cottage And Waves, Balmerino, Oil 24×18cm SOLD
Went down to Balmerino and set up on the shore to do this painting. It was really enjoyable listening to the water lapping close by until I realised my feet were getting wet as the tide came in! I had to move a couple of times until I finished this study.
Vase and Satsuma, Oil 18×24cm
At the weekend I bought this vase from the St Andrews pottery shop and it inspired this painting.
Sea Spray, St. Andrews, Oil 24×18cm SOLD
On the way home yesterday the sands at St Andrews were looking really stunning. Decided today to go back and do a plein air painting on the West Sands. The waves were breaking over the rocks and there were lots of sea birds feeding.
Arriving at Pittenweem Harbour, Oil 18×24cm SOLD
