The long Undercliff Walk that runs east from Brighton passes under the roadway here into the Marina on its way to Saltdean. Here great walls of stone, concrete and brick hold back the cliffs, making a fine walking route. This picture painted after a visit early in the year when the skies were heavy and the sea was churning.

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.

The story behind this painting is that while en plein air on a beautiful summer day, I developed a migraine with aura that added lights and blank spaces to the scene. Rather than pause, I continued with this partly deconstructed result. Here is a Georgian gateway and the modern café and a busy sky. Ref 2043

A little south of Swanage there is marvelous cliff-top walking that takes one past old mines and quarries and in places one can peer over the edge, down the cliffs to see splashing on the rocks below. Tilly Whim is the site of a now disused quarry where once boats tied up to carry Portland stone, much of it destined to build Georgian London in the 18th and 19th centuries.

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.

Magnificent fjord in the South Island of New Zealand. A beautiful, isolated place reached by coach, boat and another coach journey from Queenstown. Steep sides are rich in trees and the rush of waterfalls after rains. It is said that Captain Cooke found the entrance to the Sound on one of his expeditions, but decided not to enter as he doubted there would be enough wind inside for him to sail out.
