‘Boats in the Harbour’ is painted in oil on solid Oak block, inspired by the colours of the water you find in Cornish harbours where I drew sketches of boats, ropelines, buoys and water trails made by the boats. Back in my garden studio I began to make marks and add layers of paint in an intuitive way, evoking the feeling of joy at being out in the summer sun. The sound of birds plays a major part in this one too, the dots represent the sound of the seabirds.

I add glazes, pigments and mix the oil paint in with cold wax medium to create my art, and use shells and bits of old rope found on the tideline to make marks and texture which I find helps connects me to the landscape whilst I’m painting.

This painting is designed to sit on a shelf or mantlepiece offering a burst of colour and interest to your home and a reminder of your time spent in Cornwall.

The solid Oak blocks I use are hand prepared and have a lovely lustre and tactile surface quality to them and have details in them that you notice on closer inspection.
