This picture began life as a messy watercolour with pen and ink birds

except one well used little fishing boat bobbing bravely away

Built in 1895 it was manned until automation in 1982

I took this picture during a winter storm from the beach in Newhaven

It's becoming more and more "my" way of working

Gurnard North Cardinal Size:Large Canvas Framed in White This picture began life asTHE PHOTOGRAPH HOW WE MAKE THE PICTURE We build everything ourselves in the gallery. The photograph is printed on the very best archival matte canvas, hand coated in a matte varnish we import from America, and then left flat to dry for a few days. This means the picture can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and the great thing about a matte finish with no glass is that you have no distracting glare or reflections. It's a much more direct experience.
