Porlock Weir Low Tide #2

Porlock Weir Low Tide 2 - Mud

Porlock, Devon, Watercolour 15" x 11"

I was inspired to paint Porlock Weir by its unique charm as a small fishing village nestled on the North Coast of Exmoor National Park. The interplay of ancient cottages, rugged shoreline, and dramatic surroundings captivated me. Its timeless atmosphere and connection to nature made it an irresistible subject for watercolour exploration.

Spithead, Datrmouth Harbour at Night

When I painted this scene of Dartmouth at night, I wanted to capture the quiet beauty and atmosphere of the harbour under the glow of streetlights. The reflections on the wet pavement and the gentle shimmer of light on the water create a sense of calm and solitude. I was drawn to the interplay between the deep blues of the night sky and the warm yellows from the streetlamps, which contrast beautifully against each other.
