FOR SALE

I am very fond of this large painting of Westport Beach (Kintyre). Due to its large size and downsizing home/moving to London, I need to sell this painting.

The piece is framed with wooden mount - size 90 x 170 cm £950.



Walk 14/11/2012

It is time I updated my blog - and start working on my art again. This morning I decided to talk a walk to my favorite place, the beaches at Southend on the southern end of the Kintyre Peninsula. 

I have some pre-made jesso (rabbit skin glue) coated boards ready to use, starting with some washy seaweed watercolours.
