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
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.
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.
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.
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.
On July 1st 2009, Sussex artist Julian Sutherland-Beatson began a year long project creating 365 original paintings of the Sussex landscape and seashore. He has been creating a 'daily painting' since April 2008 (see link below) and the project has attracted interest from all media: web, print, radio and TV. Sussex 365 is a continuation of that project.
NEWS - The final collection was shown at Glyndebourne Opera House (near Lewes) in October. Thanks to all of you who were able to come along to visit.
