Favourite Walk

Oil paint on board

Inspired by a favourite coastal walk above Noss Mayo (Devon), this painting captures a view deeply familiar and cherished. The scene looks down across the Yealm estuary, where sailboats rest gently on calm waters, their hulls catching the light. The winding footpath follows the natural contours of the headland, bordered by bracken and windswept grasses, leading the eye toward the open sea. Across, the village lies tucked into the landscape, its white cottages quiet beneath a soft, coastal sky. Painted with a sense of place and memory, this piece reflects the quiet rhythm of returning to the path, the view, and the peace found here time and again.
