New! Moonlight, #DunstanburghCastle Original still available! Have you visited this famous landmark on the #Northumberland coast? A crescent moon hangs over the ruins of the castle and moonlight dances on the water as the final colours of sunset slip away

I learnt a thing from one of my followers: a clump of trees on a hill like this can be called a tump! Paul Nash made many studies of #wittenhamclumps which is a similar landform. There's also the #cominghometrees in #Cornwall. Are there any near you?

Touch a Chord: one of a series of fiery skies I made recently. As in music where a chord gives a richer sound than a single note, so it is with colours where a range of reds and oranges are more powerful than a single colour. Original sold, card available

How would you describe this landform? Tump, clump, copse? Any more? I called this one "Hill Top Stand". Can anyone remember the myth of a circle of trees that were cut down and brought bad luck? I've made many imaginative images like this. Greetings cards:

This fiery sky began as an exploration in colour. I wanted to achieve a #sunset sky that wasn't delicate pinks but brooding, powerful reds. People often ask me how I get the colours to glow - the blues and greys activate the reds and oranges. Original sold https://t.co/6g2BVZR8nC
Windswept Trees etching. Are the patterns meant to represent something? The idea began as a limestone pavement with cracks and grooves but as it developed I added more patterns and it became more abstract in nature like a patchwork quilt. #windy https://t.co/6Jmb29deIP
A group of trees on a hill is a common sight in #Northumberland. Many people have contacted me with their photos of hill top trees which is really touching. Such a simple subject but one that resonates with us. Why is that? Original now in Australia! https://t.co/SvIyHQkyQ2
With this landscape, I returned to my earlier theme of seeing the landscape as a patchwork of fields. The strongly coloured foreground has a sense of the recession of plough lines but is really a great excuse for having fun with colour and pattern! https://t.co/hpZwoJG0tL
"People often ask me what the patterns signify in my work - is it roots or geology below the ground or agricultural land marks? All on these and none! When I'm working, my focus is just on colour and pattern and creating beautiful patterns in nature.

Designed to be crisp and dramatic, The Heart of the Earth has powerful undulating patterns that suggest #Geology heat and hidden depths. The windswept trees stand out against the pure white sky. https://t.co/iltmg3PgN3
