The Blue Dinghy, Brancaster Staithe Watercolour 56 x 76cm, 2016 (Sold) I have been following the fortunes of the mussel boats (and their users!) at Brancaster staithe for 10-15 years. Sadly, their numbers are gradually declining, as they get older and beyond economical restoration. This painting is one of my submissions for the annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (R.I.) for 2017. The exhibition will be at The Mall Galleries, London, opening on 6th April.
