Island Blue
For sale on my website.
St Mary's Island is a tidal Island off the Northeast coast of England. I love this iconic lighthouse, built in the 19th century. When I was a child I'd watch it rhythmically light up the eastern night sky.

North Sea and Sky
The views out from our Northeastern beaches are breathtaking. I grew up near this spot. I played in the sand and laughed in the surf. I've walked my dogs and spent many hours watching the seabirds just like these.

My journey towards looser pastel painting continues.
It's not that easy though. So far, I feel they just look like sketches.
Is anyone else working this way? Any advice on loosening up?

There are no commandments in Buddhism. There is no higher authority to demand them. Instead, we have commitments to improve ourselves.
The first is 'I undertake the training not to kill another living being'
What if all of us tried to live just by that commitment?

This subject has given me a bit of bother. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to paint fulmars against a dark, typically northern, sea. But I'm forgetting that a fulmar's wing is fairly dark, so the values in this picture have been driving me nuts. This will not be my last attempt!!

Dhammapada (verse 2)
Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts, happiness follows him, like his never-departing shadow.

Portrait of a Redpoll. These birds always seem a bit nippy, as they tend to be fluffed up when visiting my garden. Mostly in winter, mind you, so it makes sense.
