Built 1832. Was I lucky or was it fate that enabled me to capture this image? I was driving home from Cornwall to London and decided the dog and I needed to stretch our legs. I saw the sign on the motorway to Burnham-on-Sea and as I’d never been there before thought this will be a good place to stop, the dog and I like the sea and a good decision it was too. The weather was perfect a sunny crisp December morning and no one to be seen for miles, the picture was crying out to be taken, I duly obliged. As a rule I print my pictures on A3 Matte Archival Art Paper but occasionally I use a semi gloss paper, this is because, I believe that the image will benefit. I reserve the right to make that decision on your behalf, unless of course you request otherwise. If you have a preference of paper type, then if you contact me direct, this can be discussed. The image size will be approximately 10x8, or what I consider sits aesthetically correct within an A3 paper format. Should you be interested in purchasing one of my pictures, it’s worth noting, that print colour may vary slightly depending on what system you are viewing the image.

"To see we must forget the names of the things we're looking at"-Claude Monet Some imagery has far more immediate impact, landscapes or portraiture perhaps and it's easy to understand why we connect with such. But other images we simply don’t see because we don’t consider the subject to have any value. My approach has always been to challenge that and show beauty/interest can be found in the ordinary, the mundane that’s all around us and that we walk by each and everyday without giving a second glance. I’d like to ask you to take another look and allow your imagination to expand. See the beauty of texture, colour and shape that you might find in a piece of oxidising metal, peeling paint or decaying leaf. I like to look at what I might consider to be ‘Art in my Environment ’ should you take a section of crumbling wall, frame it and hang it in a Gallery it becomes transformed and takes on a totally different meaning, does that make it of any less artistic value? It's the same with images that are simple and the idea that “anyone could have done that” but in my experience “anyone” don’t do that and that I believe is the difference between the creative and non creative. Creatives do whereas non creatives don’t. Simplicity also shouldn’t be precluded or discounted, I get the impression sometimes as though complicated somehow gives something more value but don’t be fooled by that, I personally believe less is more and as Leonardo da Vinci said, 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.' and he was quite good wasn't he?
