More #softpastel creations have happened this week and I am especially happy with this one! #unisoncolour

So alongside printmaking, I decided to teach myself soft pastels this year. I wanted something immediate, colourful, where I could sit and get lost for hours on end. As always, water is my biggest muse, so I started there. #softpastel #pastelartist #unisoncolour

St Mary's Tide

When the sea comes in at St Mary's Island, North Tyneside, it approaches from many directions. I had to simplify the structure of the waves otherwise it would be crazily busy
