First, we have a sunset vision of Cromer titled ‘Silky Wet Sands’. Cromer is my hometown, I was born and raised there, and lived there until I was 30. Therefore, I have many nostalgic memories of this place with friends and family, but also in my quest to become an artist. I always find it stress relieving to go and walk the shoreline and catch a sunset over the wet sands of Cromer. It’s an incredible scene. 

Next, Norwich, specifically Norwich Market. What I love about Norwich (where I now live) is how the marketplace brings together such a diverse group of people in a small area. There’s a thriving, bustling atmosphere and everyone always seems friendly. Norwich is a very beautiful city, full of historic charm and character. 

Thirdly, we have Felbrigg Woods, with its ‘Victory V’ tree-lined avenue. The entire Felbrigg Hall National Trust Estate is a very atmospheric place, with cattle grazing, a remote church, a hidden lake area – it could be a great place for a film set. The woods themselves for me are very beautiful and again walking in woodland is a calming, grounding yet uplifting experience – something I try to capture in my woodland paintings. 

Next stop, Sheringham Park, and the viewpoint captured in this painting entitled ‘Train Through Weybourne’. Sheringham Park is a great place to escape the crowds and to get some exercise. There is a tall viewing tower platform from which you can see the iconic steam train journey through the landscape. I use my artistic licence to re-arrange things on the canvas, but it’s the atmosphere and the wonder of a moment which is what I aim to capture. I like the timeless nostalgia of such a view.
