On My Own. Oil on 425gsm watercolour paper. Across the open farmland one single oak tree looking quite small and insignificant at the edge of the fields, with the evening light turning to pale dusk with a long casting shadow, it needed to be drawn and painted. I'm sure it called out "I'm on my own" after the sketch. After the finished painting it would never be on its own again!!
Winter Sail - Wherry Maud. Pencil, pen sketch. In January 2022 I was lucky enough to be able to join a sail on the wherry Maud along the River Bure past St Benets Abbey. It was an ideal day - cold and sunny with a clear blue sky and gentle winds. I was invited to go off in the tender to take photographs of Maud as she was sailing and this picture is based on one of those photographs.
RIP - Wrecks on Seashore. Watercolour & pen. Big skies now filling with fast moving storm clouds at Dunwich gives the chance to use swift strokes in watercolour and ink washes to sketch the scene.

She came over to the UK where they married and lived in Brighton. It is believed they became friends of Donald Pass during his drinking period. Cherie often sang with the big bands at this time.
