Dunstanburgh Castle, November Afternoon

In November 2009 my birthday fell on our day off, a Monday, so Susan and I decided to celebrate by driving up the Northumbrian coast to Newton by the Sea to have lunch in The Ship Inn. After feasting on crab sandwiches and some local ale we walked along the beach towards Dunstanburgh Castle. I stopped to do a small sketchbook watercolour to capture the striking low light. There was no wind and the sea was like a mill pond. I took some photographs and wasted little time in the studio to set about producing the original watercolour which sold Newcastle in 2011. There are only 25 copies in the print edition which can also be seen at my Studio and Gallery in Ponteland. Available framed and in larger sizes please contact or telephone +44 (0) 1661 820626
