Final Colours: I've created many sunset skies using monotype printing but this one really seems to have the glow and intensity of a real sunset. The small trees give a hint of long summer days. You can watch a making-of video over on my blog: #sunset https://t.co/C28MdlWnSa
This large fiery sky began as an exploration in colour. I wanted to find a way to achieve a sunset sky that wasn't delicate pinks but brooding, powerful reds. "Catch Fire" appears to radiate light because of colour juxtapositions. https://t.co/EDRpDF3JRE
"On the Right Path" is a hand-printed etching. I used two plates to build up the rich overlapping colours. Inspired by family trips to the seaside. Available mounted and framed. https://t.co/0q10fFqJah
Earth lines is inspired by ploughed fields but when I'm working on the foreground area, it becomes more about colour and texture interactions and abstract mark-making. The trees give focus, contrast and a sense of scale. Print sold out but cards available https://t.co/FDtE8nWKZr
Serenity: influenced by Japanese woodcuts, this new original monotype is printed in layers of translucent ink to make the colours softly glow. Imagine the reeds moving gently in a light breeze, touched by the light as the sun goes down. Available now https://t.co/9M5WH05CzZ
"Rather than a specific coastline, this image is about the joy and anticipation of approaching the sea and moving through the varied flowers and grasses along the way.

I really felt I was getting somewhere with the gold/pink/grey combination of colours in the sunset sky for this one. There's a palpable sense of warm light which was what I was striving for. What do you think of 'bathed in light'? https://t.co/2ACK3a0DOP #printmaker #onlineart
The colours and textures are carefully chosen to give the illusion of recession through space. A steady, pastel background with the boldest colours in the foreground - vibrant pinks, yellows and sea blue. A rift in the land - https://t.co/ucG4ad9ocK #landscapeartist #springtime
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/svuaBjGdu4
These new new seascape originals with sunset colours are a development of the seascapes with headlands I was working on last year. My aim has been to refine the colours of my sunset and sunrise skies to give more atmosphere and a sense of glowing light.
