This watercolour is a special place for me. It's Helmsley {North Yorkshire) where I was born. My Dad was vicar of the church. I don't remember it because I was only 3 yrs old when we moved deeper into the North Yorkshire. Moors - Danby.

I love painting windows! As I paint, I sometimes wonder what stories there are to tell of life behind them.
These are cottages in Staithes. It was the composition and colour that also appealed to me.

Staithes is a beautiful coastal village in North Yorkshire. Like Robin Hood's Bay, there is a steep hill down to the beach! The reference photo for this painting was taken on the beach when the tide was out!

When I first visited the town of Todmorden in West Yorkshire, as I walked through the town, I came across this building with rusty metal stairs. There weren't any broken windows or flowers on the land in front - that's just artistic license! However, I was drawn to what seemed like a quiet, overlooked moment of urban decay and resilience.

This is Langness Lighthouse in the south of the Isle of Man. It’s a beautiful, quiet part of the island. The white buildings around the lighthouse are holiday cottages. If you want to get away from the hustle & bustle of daily life, in one of the most beautiful places in the British Isles, this is the place for you.

This Victorian terrace is a couple of minutes walk from my home. When I took the reference photo I’d planned to remove the tree in the painting. However, taking a second look made me realise that i quite like it!

"Blue Sky & Parasols" reveals a tranquil architectural scene, where the interplay of whitewashed walls and wooden railings contrasts beautifully with a vivid blue sky. The lively parasols in shades of orange, yellow, and blue introduce a playful element, evoking feelings of warmth and relaxation. This artwork embodies leisurely days spent in sunlit spaces, making it a charming addition to any environment.

Hall Garth Park (5 mins walk from my home) is a gem in the centre of Hornsea. This view of the back of the houses on Eastgate caught my eye. Shapes, shadows and colours - great for the artist!

In March 2025 I made a trip to Dubai to visit my son & family who now live there. As part of the trip, we went on a boat trip along the river which runs alongside a old part of the city. I found the buildings fascinating, especially when reflected in the water.

Two years ago, I set about the challenge of painting every cathedral in England. I’m taking my time, partly because I’ve done more than one painting of several of the cathedrals, including Durham Cathedral, seen here. I sang in the choir at Durham as a boy🌿✨

I've been enjoying watching Riot Women (BBC1). It's set in Hebden Bridge (West Yorkshire) where I've spent 2 holidays in recent years. It's a lively place and community! I've been prompted to look at holiday photos and do one or two paintings. This pen and watercolour is the first.

Langness Lighthouse (Isle of Man) in pen & watercolour.
I must have painted this lighthouse from every angle, but each is slightly different. After all, I did walk around it many times in the years I lived in nearby Castletown!🙂
