It’s rocky and windy and can be very wild but incredibly beautiful.

I loved the peacefulness of this shady spot with the river in the background and wanted to capture that feeling in this painting. 60x60cm Acrylic on Canvas AVAILABLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1669203374671-Q7J6Q53OJUTDHTBACBXG/image-asset.jpeg Landscape Gallery - Looking Back The coastline around the Ards Peninsula in Northern Ireland has the most beautiful windswept beaches and rocks that reach out into the sea. Just off the seaside town of Donaghadee you will find the Copeland Islands, important for populations of sea birds and coastal plants. They are truly magical to visit. This painting looks back towards the town from the Copelands. 25” x 17” Acrylic on Fabriano Pittura 400gsm Acid Free Archival Pemanence Paper PRIVATE COLLECTION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1693924679842-P6I61J3GUBBP9QFII94C/HT063+Into+the+Forest.jpeg Landscape Gallery - Into the Forest When I walk through a really old forest thick with bracken, hear the sounds and smell the smells I am taken back to when I was a little girl running about and finding primroses at the foot of the trees. For me these woodlands are almost about a feeling rather than a place. However just in case you wanted to know, this particular woodland is just outside a little village called Caplane in the Gironde. 12x12” Acrylic on Board PRIVATE COLLECTION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1669201337401-TKY4YQCNPNKC6TJHKGAZ/image-asset.jpeg Landscape Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1669203446298-YLU6IASTE62P9DT3CS8G/IMG_4601.JPEG Landscape Gallery - Bluebell Woods In the springtime when the bluebells start coming through, anything seems possible. 30cm x 42cm Acrylic on Board.

This side of the bridge is my favourite - away from most of the hustle and bustle. You can walk along to Ham and get the little ferry home again.

This area is beautiful - trees on the islands on the Thames, houseboats and the hustle and bustle of Richmond in the distance. Loosestrife thrives on the river bank along here and provides the most wonderful colours. 27” x 19” Acrylic on Fabriano Pittura 400gsm Acid Free Archival Pemanence Paper AVAILABLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1717852825939-QL0EVB1ZDO1XS0VBTYDL/image-asset.jpeg Landscape Gallery - Where the Path Bends The South Hams incorporates part of the South West Coastal Path - a favourite for long (hilly!) walks in the fresh air. I simply love the winding paths edged with long grasses, sea pinks, cow parsley and the occasional bright yellow oil seed rape flower that has escaped the fields to live a safer life! 8x8” Acrylic on Canvas Board AVAILABLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1693924402889-O6WZ8HNJ5T0123OW7F7W/HT060+Shady+River.jpg Landscape Gallery - Shady River There is nothing more magical than a shady river. This one is called L’Eyre and runs from the Landes to the Basin d’Arcachon in South West France and the trees along its banks are old woodland as opposed to the more common maritime pines you see in the region. Its sandy banks make for a tranquil resting place to stop and take a moment. 12x12” Acrylic on Cradled Wood Panel AVAILABLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/637def14d3394d44ab0f7c98/1669201569375-VN35JY93RQJTLQQ2KTRZ/image-asset.jpeg Landscape Gallery - Bluebell Woods 2 In the springtime when most things haven’t really got going you can count on bluebells to really put on a great show.
