The sunset that I saw last month at the RSPB nature reserve, Minsmere in Suffolk, was incredible and the view of it over the reedbeds inspired this oil painting.

This painting was inspired by a visit to the beautiful RSPB nature reserve, Minsmere in Suffolk, when an avocet, little egrets, snipes, lapwings, marsh harriers and many ducks, swans and geese were seen. The work was made during one studio session of the Advanced painting practice course.

I’m now a student at Morley College taking the Advanced Painting Practice course in 2015-16. “Towards the mainland” is one of my first paintings on the course and is inspired by the view from medieval Korcula Town across the Mediterranean Sea towards Croatia.
