Mordros is Cornish for 'The sound of the sea'

I just wanted to go in the sea and ' dive under'

Lots of interest in the underlayers with more expressive brushmarks on the top depicting the vagaries of the weather on the North coast of Cornwall

Dive Under, Watergate Bay Waves The sun was just risingWatergate Bay is a beautiful large expanse of sand near Newquay. It holds the most beautiful sunsets in its sand. This painting came from a summers evening walk and was painted from memory. I just wanted to go in the sea and ' dive under'.
