New paintings for February, 2022

The coast is both spectacular and dangerous at times like this. Here are my latest small paintings. 'Fast Seas, Godrevy' oil on primed board, 13.5 x 13.5 cm. SOLD 'Coast, Misty Distance' oil on primed board, 13.5 x 13.5 cm.  SOLD  'Good Weather Pink' oil on primed board, 13.5 x 13.5 cm.
