Title or Location: Old Railway Bridge between Pill and Portishead (Marsh Lane Bridge)
The line between Portishead and Pill was closed in the 1960s but the track remained because for 20 years or so it was used for freight. Although there was hope of reopening it the new labour government cancelled the funding.Alongside the track is a footpath linking Pill and Portishead. It takes a bit longer to walk than it would have by train!I painted this after my walk - I felt there was hope here that in the future trains again would grace the rusting track.

Title or Location: Mr Fox
For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.

Title or Location: Japanese Garden
This painting was done en plein air at the Memphis Botanic Garden. I am preparing for an art based tour of Provence during which I hope to complete an entire watercolor sketchbook. The painting was done in an A5 cold press Etchr sketchbook. I look forward to those many hours during which nothing exists but the paint and the view.
