A trip with a fellow enthusiast to look at all the boats out of water for repainting was well worth the effort. We were lucky enough to choose a sparkling cold sunny day which provided lots of watery texture, and ample opportunity for finding abstract compositions to add…

Every year, I post an image a day for the Advent period for my friends and followers on Facebook. This year, I am basing my theme on the Waterline exhibition I held with a friend at the Gallery in Symondsbury earlier this year. Welcome to the official start…

I’ve just discovered a wonderful private nature reserve almost on my doorstep – I only managed to visit on the last open day but am looking forward to next year already. England has lost over 95% of its traditional hay meadows since the war, so sights like these…
