The narrow bridge in Bruton is one of only 16 single span packhorse bridges left in the country. The name Bow Bridge aptly describes the shape, although the name is no longer in use. It is now a footbridge over the River Brue only not used by horses. I liked the colour of the stone heightened by the late afternoon sun and enjoyed the application of layers of translucent inks.

A well-documented 17th Century packhorse bridge on a drovers’ road between the parishes of Ilchester and Long Sutton in Somerset. It is only 4’ wide with a span of 54 feet. It replaces an earlier 13th Century bridge and was the unloading point for goods destined for Ilchester. There was also a warehouse at the site until 1805. Now it is still used for horses along a well-trodden bridleway.

Kimmeridge Bay is home to endangered black faced furrow bees living in crumbly shale cliffs. I was inspired by the bees, seaweed and coastal plants. Flat rocks appear at low tide, and occasional fires from the oil shale break out on the headland. The painting was done using brush & palette knife on a black ground.

Monks' Path is part of a walk round mediaeval fishponds constructed by Carthusian monks based at Witham Friary in Somerset. There must have been a great deal of back-breaking work to dig out the two ponds, construct the channels to divert the water supply, and then manage the fish stocks once completed. The trees are more recent and provide welcome shade for visitors and fishermen on hot days. I wanted to portray the blood and toil through the use of saturated colour as well as the dappled shade under the trees. As I could walk there from our house it was a regular walk with the children and dogs whatever the weather.
