Skyfall

'It was awesome! Terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure...   The freefall was fast [100mph approx], furious and thankfully brief [60 secs].  Then things slowed down, wonderfully, with the parachute. 

 

You are so small up there, looking out over three coastlines and and the fields and hills of Devon, Dorset and Somerset. But despite the terror of the heights I did it; helped on by over £1000 raised to help some of the poorest people in the world through the amazing work of Christian Aid. Thank you everyone.'

Changling images

Another painting, another view, another change... just, I guess, as the tides and sands and seas change.

 

Chaging images

 

What started life as this, has become this... any thoughts... not that it can go back; the undo button doesn't apply to oil paint...

Cul More

A study in blue and ochre... painted from a watercolour sketch of many years ago.  Cul More is a beautiful mountain in Sutherland in the North West Highlands of Scotland.  It is often forgotten amidst the celebrities of Suilven and Stac Pollaidh; perhaps in part because of this it is graced with solitude and space.
