Known in Norfolk for his watercolours of the "Sea Henge", one is in the collection at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn, along with his painting of Hunstanton Cliffs.
Recently another painting of the "Sea Henge" was chosen by the EDP to illustrate an iconic image of a Norfolk Historical Artifact.
His coastal watercolours are a reconstruction of the formal elements in the landscape, based upon careful observation of the changing light conditions.
