Birling Gap seascape

Looking out to see from a the top of the steps at Birling Gap. The sea was actually much wilder than it looks here. In fact I've NEVER seen the sea as wild.

Eastbourne Park

I live near here just to the right of the picture in the middle green strip. This is a view of the water that forms a major part of the new Eastbourne Park off Lottbridge Drove. Its pretty flooded at the moment.

Near Berwick

A view from near the train line just east of Berwick station looking south towards the downs.

Sea view near Ovingdean

Looking south from the road running near Brighton race track, a solitary boat heading east.

Devils Dyke

Pretty bleak up here (look at the angle of the trees!) but magnificent 360 views.

Wish Tower Cafe 3

Though it's a bit run down at the moment, it will be a sad day when they demolish this building. It's up for sale as a development site and there is a real opportunity to create something brilliant here.

Hove square 2

This is another view of one of the squares in Hove. (Palmeira Square I believe) - Looking East

Windswept Hove seafront

Was really bleak and windy today and the sea spray almost obliterated (visually) everything on the seafront. This is looking west near the council offices.

Hove Square

I love these views of the grand squares in Hove, particularly on bleak days when the trees are loosing their leaves. This is looking north towards Church Road.

Eastbourne station at dusk.

Had a tour of the 2012 Olympic park yesterday arriving back in Eastbourne just as it was getting dark. There is always something really emotional (in a good way) about this sight for me. I particularly like it when the train stops for a minute or so before continuing into the station.

Barn near Cooksbridge - Saturday 14th Nov

A barn with a blue face at the top of a field near Cooksbridge. Late autumn, late afternoon.

Winter view - north of Haywards Heath

This is another view through the train window. The autumn is turning into winter and the trees are shedding their leaves.

Downland north of Lewes

This is looking west from the road leading into Lewes from the north (quite near Wivelsfield I think)

Haywards Heath - view from the train

I often take photos out of the window of trains. There was a lot of rain today, almost completely obscuring the station at Haywards Heath.

Winter Downland

I'm getting to think about Christmas lately and though there hasn't been any snow yet I hope there will be as I plan to create a lot of snowscapes this year.

Shoreham by Sea

A general view of the town of Shoreham looking inland. I don't really know Shoreham and it's one of those places I'm not really sure about. Must investigate sometime. SOLD

Winter Tree

Really bleak and cold today. This is a tree I saw on Upperton Road near Eastbourne town centre. Brrrr.

Another imagined view of a lavender field that I saw near to Chichester a few months ago (just wanted to use some mauve paint).

Seven Sisters

Theses are the old coastguard cottages overlooking the Seven Sisters just outside of Seaford (and near Cuckmere Haven) on an imagined calm summer day (not today). RESERVED

Long Man of Wilmington (Friday 6th Dec)

A majestic view from the entrance to the car park. I would imagine that hill paintings like this are quite a shock when first viewed by visitors from abroad.

Eastbourne seafront at night 2

This is driving east past South Cliff Tower on EB seafront, Hastings lights in the distance.

Eastbourne seafront at night

A study of the road near the Western Lawns opposite the Grand Hotel on Eastboune seafront. This is unfinished as I will be using a gloss glaze to enhance the feel of lights on a wet road.

Eastbourne Pier at night (2)

One of my favourite paintings is Whistlers nocturne in blue and gold of the Battersea bridge. He managed to achieve a fantastic sense the time before darkness falls with minimal colour and marks. This is another view of the Eastbourne Pier just before dark.

Nightime downland

I've seen a lot of the downs just before dusk recently. I love the contrast and drama of the impending night after a sunny day. This is near Beddingham.

Sat 31st Oct - Winter sea

Really bleak today, but beautiful breakers. The more I paint these wave portraits, the more I enjoy it. I'm going to start on a really big one soon.
