Sunrises everywhere are magical. usually a very quiet time .These horses on the Essex coast at dawn reminded me of a time in prehistory where they roamed free and wild so i decided to paint the morning scene.What dyou think? its a wide angle painting now on sale in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
i sometimes see this horse standing in a field on a backroad into Colchester. So i decided id paint him,i used Daler Rowney Graduate acrylic paints and im happy with the results . Because im colour blind i sometimes struggle with these colours but not this time.What dyou think? its now all framed up and in my Etsy shop for sale http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart . Have a nice day !!! jonny
have you ever seen a mermaid? well here is 4 that i painted on small slips of sea driftwood to go in my etsy shop. Sea driftwood has a real mystery, nobody knows where it comes from iv a theory that it bobs around in the ocean for months at a time only coming in by chance if a storm forces it into land. But who knows! I feel that mermaids would be friendly so i painted them smiling, what do you think? http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
i had a couple of odd shaped pieces of sea driftwood in my stash reminded me of a heart, this got me thinking could i make a wee box in a heart shape. Thing is driftwood never is easy to work with it can be tough as leather or fragile like paper-weakened by the ocean you can never know till you start on it.Inside iv put a lucky holey hag stone and some other unusual stones collected on my travels in the area -Anyhoo im happy with how it turned out and its now in my etsy shop for sale http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
driftwood is weird.you never know when it will wash up on the beach,nor where it came from. i like making things from it such as this small box.Why? thats another mystery. i mean you can just get new wood its easier to work with and has no marks on it. But i prefer the mystery of driftwood .Do you? i have things iv made from driftwood on my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
Pass thru Dedham village and you will see cows in the fields.Its Constable country and like stepping back in time.Decided to paint the morning scene there.What dyou reck? its now in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
decided to paint a pig id seen at Blythburgh common. I once got stopped by the police after speeding over the common and while i was being questioned i noticed a pig in a nearby field looking at me. It stuck in my mind so i decided to paint him/her, What dyou reck? its now on sale in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk.shop.sunnySUFFOLKart
this way you dont have time to overthink a painting. its well known that if you concentrate on 1 thing tooo much you can easily mess it up. Better to have your mind elsewhere .What dyou reck ? these 2 are now in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
this part of town,a mix of old and new always intrigues me. The Steam Packet was an inn that closed in 1960 ,now its rooms rented out , i decided to paint it and it wasnt easy. What dyou reck? its now on sale in my etsy shop framed up ready to hang http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
Just offshore Felixstowe had quite a few plane crashes back in the day-after storms sometimes metal washes up on the tideline . I decided to make some necklaces using a mix of the driftwood and beach aluminium metal -What dyou think ? i added a white woven cotton lanyard that i wove using some soft cotton string.Im sure these necklaces will have true sea spirits ! Theyre now on sale in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sunnySUFFOLKart
