There are four sections here: an archive of watercolours from early exhibitions and then three selections from shows I’ve had in the last few years: at Thomas Williams Fine Art, Bond St, London in 2000; the Saltwater Gallery, Burnham Market, Norfolk in 2005; and Gallery 37, Blenheim Crescent, Notting Hill, London in 2006.

The subjects of each show reflect where I was travelling (or working) at the time. The 2000 exhibition largely features landscapes from Italy and the Outer Hebrides, where I took time off to paint the fast-moving clouds and astonishing turquoise seas while writing Castaway (see Books).

In 2005 landscape photographer Harry Cory-Wright invited me to show at his gallery in Burnham Market, Norfolk with the brief that I should paint exclusively in the local landscape. For this purpose I stayed on a boat out on the marsh in Burnham Deepdale, waking in the early summer dawn around 3 am, sleeping for part of the day, then continuing on into the late sunset around 9 or 10 pm. The show mixed the resulting paintings with Harry’s stunning images of the same part of the world. Seeing the contrast, I very nearly gave it all up to become a photographer, but was reassured when Harry told me that he had started taking watercolour lessons. We both share the same fascination for trying to capture what’s out there in Nature; but Harry’s technology is undoubtedly more advanced.

The 2006 show was a collection of work from trips all over the world, from Australia to the South of France.

These pictures are now all sold, but if you are interested in seeing what I have for sale now, please email me from the Contact Mark page and I can send you jpegs of current work. My watercolours start at £95 for the smallest A6 size and go up to around £500-600 for the largest A3 size.
