Durdle Door

Came across this image on the internet and will make a picture of it at some point.



I would have put the source but I cannot find it at the moment. I shall have to go down to Durdle  Door and photograph it myself so that I can replace the image

Sunset over Cornwall Coast

A Sunset over the Cornwall Coast 2010.


This image has not be touched by a photo editng program.

Beaches of Cornwall

A photograph of a beach in Cornwall in early summer 2010. This image has not been digitally altered or messed about with in photoshop. When you look at a digital image on a computer it is hard to tell if the scene is real or has been so called improved.

I search the Internet for photographs to use in my hobby art projects and I find lots of wonderful images of seascapes and landscapes but many of them have be altered too much for me to use.

Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers. A digital photo taken in the spring of 2010. Somewhere in Dorset. Cranbourne Chase.



The image might make a nice picture. These flowers came late due to a cold winter and snow fall. We don't get snow in Dorset very often these days.

Hengistbury Head art project

http://www.courtenaysfineart.com/John_Dimech.html searching through google images looking for image references for Hendistbury Head I came accross an image of a water colour picture I might copy, sorry, not copy, use as inspiration, sounds better, I'm not trying to copy I am using it as a starting point to do my own work. John Dimech has some nicw work available on the internet and through galleries.

I am at the moment looking for a image of hengistbury head to use to make a picture onto canvas board, I am going to try using softpastel and maybe coloured pencil and pen and ink. Bit of a mix, some times it works and some times it looks, never mind, wheres the bin I might need it later.
