Every time I pass Cuckmere Haven I want to paint the incredible 'meander' snaking towards the sea. I understand the area will be allowed to flood in future. Progress I suppose, and I'm sure the area will be as beautiful in another way.
Most of the paintings in this series so far have been in East Sussex. This is one of the first in West Sussex. I don't know Arundel that well but I do like this view of the town and castle (on the right) with boats on the rivers edge. SOLD
The seasons are changing and the gradual shifts in temperature are affecting the countryside. This is a view looking south from the train line out of Lewes heading towards Brighton.
Since first drawing and painting this pier in the early seventies, it's been the angles that have attracted me. Its also a place to see the incredible phenomenon of the starlings (?) flying in formation.
There's just too much to talk about this building. Purchased by a developer 2 years ago it's now falling into disrepair. It's a wonderful building and has such potential for a variety of uses (particularly artistic).
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.
