Walking down river from Kew Bridge, one passes along Strand on the Green towards the Mall. In the distance, the underground railway bridge that carries trains to Kew Gardens crosses the river. As often here, spectacular clouds hang over the view.

Among the many wonderful and old trees in the gardens at Chiswick House are these two fine Cedars. There were once more, but these withstood the hurricane in 1988, and benevolently accepted many years of climbing by local children, mine included. These trees are engraved in my mind’s eye from years of seeing them.

One hot summer day, we walked through cool woods in Menorca near the village of Macarella, suddenly breaking through onto a boiling beach. I have tried here to capture the shock of the heat and penetrating sunlight.

The cliffs by Swanage are unstable, landslides often happening. This is part of the Jurassic coast, so frequently fossils can be found on the beaches below new slips. This is one of several paintings stimulated by the scars and mess left there by landslides.

Trees in winter sunlight have a special magic and the woods on the ridge on The Chevin above Wharfedale near Ilkely, and Otley, are majestic and dense, and are both inviting and threatening at the same time. This was painted after a winter walk in bright sunlight, looking through the tall bare trunks of the mixed woodland into its dense interior.

Among the many architectural gems in the gardens at Chiswick House, the bridge over the lake is outstanding. Its graceful arc is in classical proportions, designed by James Wyatt and built in 1774. This view, looking onto the path over the bridge, is from the trees at the eastern side, painted on a hot, breezy summer day.

This picture is one of a series painted to explore the shapes and colours of the ruined Roman coastal town of Baelo Claudia in Andalusia, to the west of Gibraltar. The ruins are extensive and one can see the typical layout with city walls, four gateways and straight roads. There are temples, a forum, theatre, many houses and workshops where garum, the essential fermented Roman fish sauce, was produced in gigantic quantities for export throughout the empire.
