To Ilfracombe

Pareidolia is the blessing,  or curse, of seeing beyond form or image, spotting faces and animals in clouds; the boulders and pebbles at Westwards Ho! are restful and often take on characters in Rosie's perception.

Into the Blue

In August 2024 we were served with a "section 21 no fault eviction" notice, as our landlords wanted to sell up so they could buy a new house in France. Our world came crashing down around our ears, made worse by the fact our daughter received the same notice as she lived in the flat above us with her 2 small boys. We started off by asking help from the village grapevine, the trouble was a lot of rental properties had been sold off during the covid lockdown to people who wanted to escape to the country. This drawing was drawn at the time, we still had hope that we would find somewhere for ourselves and 3 dogs without too much trouble.

New House 1

This striking artwork presents a dynamic interplay of blues and reds, evoking the ever-changing coastal landscape of North Devon. The bold brushwork creates a sense of movement, reflecting the energy of the sea and sky. Each layer invites exploration of colour and emotion, making it a captivating addition to any space. Perfect for those who appreciate abstract art rooted in nature.

Geometric Abstract-

n November 2024 the sun came out again. I found a grotty looking house in a village 10 miles down the coast, there was only a photo of the outside, over grown garden, paint peeling. We were desperate, the landlord would accept dogs we certainly didn't care about peeling paint. It poured with rain the day we went to visit, the lounge was on the second floor as the house was built into a hill, the downstairs hall was a bit grotty. When the agent opened the lounge door we were shocked, the room was massive, with a huge side window, that overlooks the sea and patio doors that lead onto a reasonable size balcony. We moved in on the 19th of December and have loved every second in our unexpected dream house.

New House 3

Pet Rhumba

Acrylic on birch panel. Whilst its a painting of a Rooster its as much about colour and surface as subject.

Furze Along The Coast Path

Lannacombe Bay

A painting of the beach as you turn towards Westward Ho! in north Devon. There is so much movement here as the estuary meets the ocean. I tried to catch the moment where the two meet and the clouds collect above.

Greysands

Wharf, Bude Canal

A life spent living near the coast inspires this richly layered and textured mixed media painting. Evocative of the atmospheric North Devon coast, the painting echoes the light, wind, spray, sounds and sensations experienced in the ever-changing weather conditions at the coast in this part of Devon.

Atlantic Coast - Storm Passing

Rosie spends a considerable amount of time swimming at Westward Ho!, the boulder bank warms up in the sun and is a perfect place to sit and watch the tide, the soft summer rain speckling the pebbles. There is a lot to look at in this oil painting - including Rosie's fascination with pareidolia - seeing faces in the boulder bank. Rosie wrote a Haiku with this painting: Come lie with me on The sun warmed pebble ridge, Let the soft rain fall. This painting is also available as a giclee print, A3 size unframed £95.00, and greetings card £3.50 each.

Pebbles Rain Rest

This piece was the last in a series of imagined seascapes, based on my location near many sandy beaches in North Devon.

Embrace the Horizon VIII

This painting was inspired by winter sun breaking through the trees in the forest. Long shadows stretch across the path at Arlington Court, with light and shade adding interest to these wonderful woods.

Light Through The Trees

A vibrant abstract painting inspired by the our place in society and the contribution we can make.

Always Onwards and Upwards

Dusk arrives in layers rather than all at once. On our walks, shadow and light seemed to fold across the horizon, gradually veiling the familiar landscape.

Veil of the Dusk

This large landscape of Snowdonia captures the enormity of scale of both mountains and sky, with the reflections of clouds moving across the wind-blown lake.

A long horizon changes slowly. Walking beside it, we watched the day recede almost imperceptibly, leaving a band of serene light between sea and sky.

Set Fair To The Western Horizon is a richly layered mixed media artwork incorporating collaged under-layers and expressive painting in acrylics, sealed with varnish.

Inspired by the ever-changing weather along our beautiful North Devon Atlantic Coast, reflecting the light, colours, sounds and sensations of the seaside.

The sides of the canvas are painted and it comes with appropriate hanging fixings ready to hang straight onto your wall. A coat of varnish has been applied to protect the painted surface. The work is signed on the front. A catalogued certificate of authenticity is attached to the back. My artworks are carefully packaged and sent via a tracked courier, insured to the value of the artwork.

Aeonies and Promises-r

Hope

nspired by the ancient beauty of the ammonite and the ever-changing colours of the sea, 'Tides of Time' captures a sense of movement, history and the natural rhythms of the coast. Layers of turquoise, aqua, cobalt blue and fresh sea greens radiate through the spiral, interspersed with clear glass and delicate bubbles that catch and scatter the light. The transparent areas allow the surroundings to become part of the piece, changing its character throughout the day. The ammonite form connects the work to oceans of the distant past, while the vibrant palette reflects the colours of the North Devon coast today. Fused at high temperature, the individual pieces of glass soften and flow together while retaining their texture, creating a contemporary interpretation of an ancient natural form. Displayed in a simple black metal stand, the glass appears almost suspended, allowing light to illuminate every ripple, colour and detail.

Textile piece incorporating fabric, wire, metal, stitch and loosely representing the colours and textures to be seen on the Quay at Ilfracombe - aesthetically pleasing but deadly when it gets into the sea and kills birds and fish and into our food chain

Quayside Pretty Deadly-

n October 2024 we were getting desperate, I spent most of my day's stalking rental websites while packing books in tears. Luckily our daughter had found somewhere, so she was one less worry. We knew we would have to leave our village and all our friends behind us, most suitable properties wouldn't accept dogs. I was losing my home, friends, life behind and I won't prepared to leave my dogs, so I worked out a plan. We would put all our belongings in storage, buy a caravan and move around touring sites, keeping our fingers crossed we would eventually find somewhere. This drawing was drawn during the darkest days.

Never House

Clovelly, North Devon. This detailed watercolour was carefully painted from a photograph taken by me on my first visit to Clovelly. It is a truly unique village, beautifully kept by it’s residents, where one can experience a step back in time. The donkeys that used to pull the laden sledges up and down the cobbled thoroughfare are happily retired nearby. The glass is UV100 to help protect the paint from daylight.
