Past Works 2000-2009
![]() The SkiffIn anything truly seen there is mystery. The rippling saltish sea along the hull, the changing light flickering on the painted planks and the reflection of them, ever coming, ever going away; the catenary loop of mooring line upon which the Green Heron will shortly land, the rigid texture and colour of the cement bulkhead, and the sense of the burthened salted air enveloping, the sense of possibility and the sense of finality - all this in everything. It’s everywhere. All is beauty. Oil on Panel | ![]() TOBAGO IDYLThe beach at Pidgeon Point Oil on Canvas 30 X 40" | ![]() SUNSETYacht 'Sargasso' in her slip at the marina. Watercolour 22 X 30" |
