Thank you for following my work! Northumberland is of great inspiration to my paintings. I spend much of my time exploring the Northumberland coastline.
Bamburgh Castle and Bamburgh Beach are particularly splendid early summer when the poppies are in full bloom.
Craster is another personal favourite, with views of the harbour, fishing boats and Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance.
Let us not forget Alnmouth nestled in Northumberland a stones throw from the market town of Alnwick. Lovaine Terrace is such a colourful street it was just asking to be painted! It make a perfect Northumberland picture.

Low Newton by the Sea. I can recommend the walk from Craster to Low Newton, taking in Dunstanburgh Castle.
I feel so privileged to have such a fantastic landscape as Northumberland as my inspiration and feel lucky to have grown up in a rural area just outside Berwick upon Tweed.
Berwick upon Tweed has a lot of charm and history that makes it a great subject to paint. Situated at the mouth of the river Tweed and famous for its three bridges the historic town is awash with interesting features.
If you are visiting the area you can see my work in the Dockside Gallery in Tweedmouth.
Spittal, Seahouses, Lindisfarne and Druridge Bay are next on my list of places to paint. Northumberland never fails to deliver on subject matter.
This summer I am hoping to squeeze in one more camping holiday with my family and a few more coastal walks to get my creative juices flowing.
My sketchbook will be at hand to capture all of my latest ideas!
