This piece was a final piece for my final major project and was based on a seaside town Portstewart in Northern Ireland.The natural enviroment was done impressionist style and the houses were done naive style.This was to capture the holiday atmosphere of the seaside town.My paint was acrylics.The photo does not do my painting justice as it was 5 foot by 3 foot and too big for a detailed snapshot.(I made the canvas myself)It took me only 10 hours to do which is extremely quick for me as I will easily spend a month on a drawing.

Again another piece for my final major.It was of a salmon fisherman's cottage in the 1700's, in Portstewart,Northern Ireland.It was watercolour and then the cottage was briefly outlined with black pen.The grasses were drawn in with pen also.This piece was chosen as a top piece by the college.
