Southwold

I loved painting this one. A very old friend got in touch to ask if i would paint a picture of Southwold beach for her husband Terry. Ever since they got married, Terry has gone for a bit of 'manly me time' to Southwold on a regular basis (I guess he doesnt have a shed)

The bright colours were lovely to capture. In my original sketch, I drew Terry ambling across the beach in the foreground, but when I painted him in, it didnt look right. I painted him out, and instead, put him leaning over the railings, looking out to sea.
When I delivered the painting, Terry was amazed; he wanted to know how I knew he always spends hours leaning on the railings above the beach huts!

This is the biggest painting I've ever done, and I kept putting it off as i was a bit daunted. i usually work on A3 paper and most of my brushes are tiny in order to cope with all the little details on people's faces and the intricate bits people ask me to include. I do have a few big brushes though, so when the deadline encroached, I gathered my courage and began. i was instantly amazed at how fast you can paint with a big brush. The average A3 personalised painting, with faces, pets and houses in, take about 2 weeks to complete. This one took just two days! Amazing! it felt really nice to paint standing up and with my arms waving about so freely, usually I am hunched over, face to the desk, peering at photographs! So inbetween commissions, I'm going to attempt some more biggies.

Heres the painting in it's frame. Looks jolly nice don't you think?
