Who else loves seeing fishing boats on the coast?

The painting I’m showing you today is an A4 pen and watercolour piece of two blue fishing boats in Beer, Devon.

In the sea, I used watercolour paint made from genuine ground up lapis lazuli, prized for centuries for its beauty and its perfection as a pigment.

The stone’s expense both today and in the ancient world, results from its hardness, which makes mining it difficult. The funerary mask of Tutankhamen features lapis lazuli around the eyes and eyebrows and it became the official colour of the Virgin Mary in the early fifth century. In Medieval and Renaissance Europe,  lapis lazuli was imported from Afghanistan and was more expensive than gold.

My framed A4 original is available for sale in the Link, Castle Park Arts Centre, Off Fountain Lane, Castle Park, Frodsham WA6 6SE, 10-4pm Tuesday till Saturday till 21st June, for £145. Please just ask the staff in the café area if you’d like to make a purchase.

It’s also available as prints and printed on all sorts of lovely things at:

where there is currently a major sale on, with up to 40% off!

I had such a lovely time the last two Thursday evenings - out sketching in the open air with Eddisbury Artists, around Frodsham and Kingsley. So I decided to print out my finished paintings and use them to make thank you cards for the two families who very kindly welcomed us into their farms and gardens - their homes!

Do you think they'll like them?

Thanks for looking!
