Southwold Beach Huts , Suffolk by Peter Bowen - 2010 Accepted for showing at the Annual Clevedon Arts Club Exhibition 14-29 August 2010 I have always been fascinated by beach huts - they come in many sizes and shapes but most of all they are sometimes painted in different colours. The Southwold Beach Huts in Suffolk are no exception and are brightly coloured examples of the beach hut in all of its glory. The Southwold Beach Huts painting represents many happy hours spent at the beach basking in the warm sunshine and enjoying the shelter that the beach huts offer from the winds. This beach huts painting is actually 11" x 25", I enjoy painting on a full sheet of heavy watercolour paper and did not forget the washing line! Southwold Beach Huts for Sale

The 101st Annual Open Exhibition of Art at the Clifton Arts Club opens on Saturday 18 July and closes 1 Ugust 2009. While travelling into Bristol on the Park and Ride bus from Long Ashton, I saw this view up towards Clifton Wood and that was the inspiration for this painting. I had a clear vision in my mind of what the painting should look like and I wanted to capture only the buildings themselves and not be concerned about the trees above and below the many different coloured houses. I must admit I struggled to get the composition just right while capturing the essence of the structures and balance the many colours together so that there remained a freshness to the scene. This painting Clifton Wood Bristol is the first I have painted that is twice as large as I would normally paint, I wanted to capture the size and detail that the buildings deserved and did not forget the washing lines!
