I feel fortunate that I travel across Dartmoor most days. Everyday I notice the difference in colours, clouds, wind direction and temperature. Such a beautiful wilderness..

Lovely Lukesland
Lukesland Gardens on the southern edge of Dartmoor,Devon, UK. The weather has been wind and rain but I had an inspirational visit on Sunday morning. Every season brings beauty in these gardens.
Halo at the Hare field
It’s like alchemy
Really enjoying experimenting with mark making and new paints in the studio. A work in progress. The River Erme at Piles Copse is the inspiration for this one. #sogoodtobeback
Looking to the Skies
I find myself cloud watching…these are from Hanger Down Clump, South Dartmoor and Leather Tor. I have been working at the top of the moor and find it hard to come back down as the clouds and light change so quickly up there.
Haytor Heather and Gorse
In between the showers a wonderful evening walk over the tops, heather and gorse, pink purple and yellows. Haytor , Saddle, Top, Pil and Rippon Tor……
Dartmoor Skies

Freshwater Influence
Home. Evening Walk along the River Dee to the corner of the Peninsula. Views across Liverpool Bay. Silhouette of Hilbre Islands with the Point of Ayr and Snowdonia Range in the light of the setting sun. In oceanography terms this estuary is a Region of Freshwater Influence……..water, fresh, salt, heat, tide and shelf….
Celestial
A walk in from Capel Curig for Pen Llithrig y Wrach (Hill of the Slippery Witch) and from Llyn Ogwen up Pen yr Ole Wen. Wind and ice towards tops. Lunch at lake Ffynnon Lloer (Spring of the Moon). The Sky……the cold on your cheeks, the crunch of the snow, the changing colours, the space…….heavenly.
