ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Martello Towers were erected around the coasts of the British Isles for early warning of invasion during the Napoleonic Wars. The first scenes in Joyce's "Ulysses" take place in a Martello Tower in Dublin. I painted this picture in Pevensey, East Sussex, in the shade of a Martello Tower next to our holiday house and the colours reflect in an approximate way those of the sea and the beach in those days, Big Sky Country! (apologies to Montana).
