888 AD The First Settlers on the Island of Great Yarmouth

Image
  A new project: I have written a story about the first people to settle on what was an island, where Great Yarmouth stands now, in the year 888. Two Saxon brothers decide to build houses on the island of Gernemutha, and take their families across to live there. They will be better placed to take advantage of the herring fishing in the autumn. But there are many problems to be overcome, and danger lurks at all times: although East Anglia is ruled by a Dane, King Guthrum, still Viking raids persist until the time of William the Conqueror. An illustrated children's book will hopefully see the light of day before Christmas! Top: Herewulf Gathers Mussels in the Great Estuary. Watercolour 38x56cm                                                                                            Lower: The Island of Gernemutha, Seen From the East. Watercolour 13x18cm

Blakeney Point and North Norfolk Beaches, 2007-2008

THE WATCHHOUSE, BLAKENEY POINT Watercolour 56 x 76cm, 2007 - Sold I spent some time on Blakeney point in 2007, painting on location, then producing larger pictures back in the studio. This and the picture below are two of the studio paintings of this iconic building. WATCHHOUSE CREEK 1 Watercolour 38 x 56cm, 2007 - Sold RED BANK, BURNHAM OVERY STAITHE BEACH Watercolour 56 x 76cm, 2008 SALTHOUSE BEACH IN THE MIST, 23rd MAY 2008 Location study, watercolour 28 x 38cm My heart sank when I reached the coast and saw the mist, but on looking closer, I found it really interesting; everything was very subtle: the pale colours, the patches of wind-ruffled water, the way the sea merged into the sky, and the odd seal coming up to look at the people on the beach! PANORAMA FROM SALTHOUSE HEATH, MAY 2008 Double-page spread from sketchbook, 28 x 75cm Painted over three days; it was so cold, with a northerly breeze, that I couldn't stand more than 2-3 hours on the spot at one time.
