Sussex Merch

Another view painted from my trips to Rye. This small (8x8 inch) oil painting is from the very top of Lion Street, with the last shop, right outside the church door. With the bulk of the church to the South its a shady passage, but you get interesting effects from the light that makes it there.

These strange tall huts are traditional fisherman's huts found only in Hastings. I don't think they use them anymore, but they have been preserved as distinctive historic buildings, and are very popular with photographers. There are quite a few of them, but few good angles for photographs as they are clustered tightly. For this painting I've used lamp black for the basic colour with a lot of white mixed in, but its not all black and white - there are plenty of other hues blended in : mauve, crimson, vandyke brown, sap green, naples yellow and cobalt blue

I was so lucky to be in the right place at the right time - and who doesn't love visiting Brighton!

Used a cutout filter.

Harbour Cottages, Bosham A picturesque cluster of cottages in the village of Bosham, Chichester harbour, West Sussex, England. Legend has it that Bosham was the place where King Canute commanded the waves to recede. Date: 16th December 2017.

Winchelsea in Sussex is a funny sort of place. On the surface everything is manicured and as perfect as its little grid of roads. The trouble is it all seems a bit too perfect. Amongst the neat residential streets we came across 'the little shop' - one of those places that sells an eclectic mix of things, so you can't label it as one kind of place or another. I took a photo, and a couple of years later I got round to producing an equally little picture, painted in oil on board and measuring 12 inches by 10.

A wooden fishing boat on the beach at Hastings Old Town on the south coast of East Sussex. Fishing boats have been beached on this area of shingle known as The Stade, an Anglo-Saxon word for landing place, for over a thousand years and this is now the largest beach launched fishing fleet in Britain.

The North Laines of Brighton (UK) is not your average shopping street. The shops here have a somewhat laid back, eco friendly, upcycle and chillout feel about them. I've captured this little scene from their heart and painted it on a 12x16 inch board. Enjoy spotting all the little details.
