Landscape Watercolour of Weston Super Mare, 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Rough Paper 140 lbs
Another painting of the harbour in this North Somerset town and a favourite UK resort well known for it's low tide which reveals miles of beach (sadly mostly tidal mud towards the sea). Two local ferries that operate in the Bristol Channel, the Westward Ho Ferry and the smaller Bristol Queen, are moored up here. In the distance is the town centre behind brightly lit hotels on the seafront.

The Britannia Inn otherwise known as "The Brit" is a traditional English Pub situated on the High Street in Weston Super Mare in the South West of the UK. When we're lucky enough to have a sunny summer's day, it's a great place for a pint in the courtyard and watch the world go by.

A quiet street in a busy part of Weston-Super-Mare, just before you get to the sea front (it's just over the middle building) and promenade. I was going for my 'H' composition on this one. Perhaps I could have chosen a more interesting subject, and have done my best by introducing a few figures in against the dark background - even though some of them look as if they've had too much to drink!

Running parallel to and just a hundered metres or so away from the sea front at Weston, St James Street is lined with many traditional fish and chip restaurants run efficiently by Greek-Cypriot families. Weston, whilst a bit shabby in areas is going through a bit of a makeover at the moment with the promenade in particular looking very smart now, along with the new pier development (even St James Street here has its Japanese Sushi bar!). Weston's a great place for west country day- trippers.

Browns Restaurant in Bath occupying a prime location in the centre of Bath right opposite the Abbey. The skies were menacing, but we Brits still insist on eating outside and Browns oblige with their larger than life parasols and outdoor halogen heaters keeping the punters warm.

Destroyed by fire in 2008, the Grand Pier Weston-Super-Mare reopened in 2010. At the end of the pier's promenade there's a new glass fronted hi tech amusement arcade, and a new wider walk way around where you can glimpse views of Lundy Island out in the Bristol Channel.

The wheel at Weston Super Mare can't rival the London Eye, but it's got great views over to the Mendips to the south and Cardiff across the Bristol Channel to the north. And apart from the Pier and the modernised sea front, Weston is famous for it's numerous Fish & Chip shops & takeaways, attracting long queues at busy times of the day.
