Waterloo SunsetInspired by a a busy and beautiful Southbank late one afternoon in December as the sun was setting. Winter coats on and strong sunlight, festive twinkling fairy lights all around and these gorgeous silhouettes of figures all having a day out, more stories that I could tell with a thousand words. Each person with their own hopes and dreams, relationships and thoughts. I just loved the scene when I saw it and loved painting it with this warm colour.

Inspired by a light-filled walk around Linchmere Common

Beautiful Frensham Ponds in Surrey

Being out in nature helps put things in perspective - the tall trees against the people adds a sense of scale to our lives

Do you remember when the summer holidays seemed to stretch out forever

it will be wrapped in bubblewrap and sent securely

What a place to walk

Capturing the life and power in the sea

gazing out to sea

wrapped in tissue paper with much care in a hard-backed envelope

wrapped securely in bubblewrap and boxed up
