Wave after wave

Whenever possible I make my way to the coast, North Yorkshire , Northumberland and North Devon are my regular haunts, I find the coastal environment enspiring and the coast, sea and waves are a recurring theme in my drawing and print making.

These two prints were made for an exhibition called "wish I was there" they were exhibited by Network Rail as we came out of the first lockdown and are now at the Railway Museum in York.

The top one is Sandsend, near Whitby.

The second one is of Dunstanborough Castle in Northumberland.

I made small editions of each.
