For those who follow my website, you are aware of how fond I am of Princes Parade in Hythe
I had written an article for Cinques Ports Magazine a while back.

Since this article, more than 4000 people signed petitions, marched, protested, asking for the Council to abandon the planning of houses being built and a swimming pool at the cost of destroying the amazing wildlife that has been living there for decades.: Reptiles, birds, badgers, pheasants, maritime grassland and more, all to be destroyed! It has already started as they cannot wait to build.

​Find out more about the beautiful wildlife we have lost >>>>HERE

Unfortunately, there has been a report concerning the toxicity of the site, mentioning the presence in high number of Asbestos, Cyanide and a lot more harmful components.
If the work goes ahead, people living nearby will be subject to receive the dust containing the harmful toxic.

In the first Lockdown, family and friends asked me where I was walking with my dog.
I sent this picture to them

I felt blessed to be able to walk in such peaceful environment with songs of the birds, the smell of fresh buds.

​I would like you to find out what the council has already done of this area before to have the full permission to carry on with their appalling plans.

Fences have been erected where they are planning to build a new road!
Hell for our gorgeous corner.

However this afternoon I came back from my walk very positive.
A resident told me that NO developer could contemplate the price of removing or securing all the toxics found on the land before starting building on it.

​Lets hope he is right!

There is nothing more pleasing than receiving a message with a photo of one of my prints in a frame.

The happy owner told me the print looks so good !
​I agree, the print is good and the frame is very complimentary.

You might remember my second website reserved uniquely for my work in watercolour.

There, I also had an Online shop. In less than a year I sold paintings and received  commissions.

The price of running an Online gallery is exorbitant. I took the decision  to abandon
my Watercolour site. Not something I wanted really to do!

Instead, I am adding a few watercolours on this site. The portfolio will be shorter as I cannot display all the works.
However if you want to see more, you could visit my page Prints and Cards.

At a much more fairer price, I have opened a Shop on Folksy where I am downloading paintings I wish to sell.
From Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour, some cards and some prints.

To can preview a small sample of my shop below

HOMELY  - Pure watercolour on 600 grs Not Arches paper
with Winsor Newton paint,  Rembrandt, Sennelier

it was the first time I was using a heavy watercolour paper.
Due to the weight of the paper, the colours sunk deeply into the paper and. So, I had to apply several layers.
one drawback, it is more difficult to lift the colours as they are laying deep in the paper…

however I liked it very much and will carry using it, probably with Saunders Waterford 


​

COCO  - My very last painting on canvas - Acrylic

​I really enjoyed  creating this little painting that was well received as a Christmas present 

At last I have completed this watercolour of Dubrovnik - Croatia.
My children had given me shots of their holidays that I wanted to paint.
​It is the first one in a series to come.
It is going to be available on my shop as Prints and Cards

At last another painting to add to the collection 2021

"Summer Bliss" Acrylic - 16" x 12"
