After a winter stroll on the beach at East Head, I was inspired to paint this scene of the empty beach at West Wittering, in Sussex, with the Isle of wight in the background.
This is a larger piece painted on with acrylics on canvas, measuring 594 x 840mm and completed in June 2020. On the horizon is the Bembridge coastline of the Isle of Wight disappearing into the orange glow.

This piece, acrylic on watercolour paper is of the view from The Trundle, Goodwood, looking towards the Isle of Wight in the far distance on the right of the painting.
