I split my time between studio based work and out in the field. This en plein air work is an immediate form of painting where time and weather are against you. Time stands still but the scene constantly changes and capturing the moment is the challenge. This painting of Alnmouth was created on a peaceful summers day. Blue sky warm sun and the tide on the move. This part of the coast is magical and a draw for tourist to splash about and enjoy playing on the golden sands.
