Gallery Marine Sea and Shore
As the British are a maritime nation it must be in the blood. We seem to be drawn to the coast and I'm no exception. Maritime paintings have been a major part of my work,from sea battles in the days of Nelson to quiet harbour scenes in the 21st century. One of my favourite areas for sea subjects is the Yorkshire coast around Whitby, but as a child I often visited Barrow-in-Furness and so witnessed the building of vessels from ocean liners to nuclear submarines.
