A range of drawings and paintings interested in strong light and people in the sunshine.

Hot Patootie. Acrylic and pencil on sand on board. 10″ square.
Made from a collection of sketches made around Cap d’Agde in the south west of France. Trying to capture the way you can’t focus for long in the light and heat.

Sandy Shore. Acrylic and pencil on sand on board. 7″ x 10″.
Started on the beach painting one of my sons. Quite attritional in the sunshine. Trying to get that strength of contrast that is so hard for our eyes to calibrate.

Waiting for lunch in Roses, Spain. Pencil in A4 sketchbook.
Made just to pass the time. Notice the 4 appearances of Gallic popster Johnny Hallyday as a little statue.
