While Cornwall holds a special place in my heart, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to some truly beautiful corners of the world. Whenever I visit somewhere new, my favorite thing to do is simply sit down and capture the scene with a quick sketch.
The painting above, however, shows a deserted Caribbean island that I’ve never actually set foot on! My cousin discovered this idyllic spot while sailing and asked me to paint it for her. I was instantly inspired—it looks like absolute paradise, and I’d love to swim off that shore.
Although the final piece turned out well, it wasn’t all plain sailing (pun intended!). You can read about the hurdles I faced in my blog post.
Here are some of my paintings from Europe including, Spain, Austria, Venice and Switzerland. Simply click on the image to see it larger.
