Hear the soft ripples on sand at low tide.
Let the stress of the day disappear.
While seagulls float on the gentle breeze
Find peaceful solitude here.

I went to sea at 15 with the Royal Navy and came ashore again 12 years later having experienced typhoons in the Pacific, hurricanes in the Atlantic, the deep freeze of the Arctic and monsoons of the tropics; but such beauty everywhere.
Then after 3 years in commerce which was illuminating but boring, I became a Financial Adviser for the next 47 years, which on balance I found wonderfully fulfilling.
Even after all that time, salt water still flows through my veins but I love the dry land and all its surprises too.
I have had no formal training but had been painting in water colour on and off for about twenty years. After trying acrylics in about 2015 the bug bit: I had to become a painter!
Each of the prints of my original paintings comes with a thought provoking four line verse, written by Diane Cooke who has taught and inspired KS2 children for many years, with a special interest in developing their creative writing skills.
Limited Edition
Each print is Limited Edition and comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist.
Print Quality
Our Giclee fine art prints use pigment based none fade inks which typically last for 100 + years and offer the best possible reproduction of colour and hue. They are printed on slightly textured Museum Heritage 310 gsm Fine Art Paper.
Print Sizes
The standard sizes are shown with each picture but should you prefer larger or smaller prints please ask for a quote. Please remember measurements are in centimetres and approximate to within a very few millimetres.
Package & Postage
P&P is included in prices for the UK. Outside the UK please ask for a quote.
Framing
Framed prints are available on my Etsy Shop.
Unframed Prints
Unframed prints from my website are delivered rolled in strong tubes.

"Dear Chris,
We are delighted with our art website. In addition to all the items we requested, you have added many artistic details that really enhanced the site.
We would also like to thank you for your patience, explaining and talking us through all the concepts we did not understand.

Best regards."

"This is the second website that Chris and Colette from Surrey Artists have designed for me and I am delighted with the result. They put in an amazing amount of work collating a large amount of detail to ensure my paintings are professionally displayed.
The finished website has already attracted a large number of serious enquiries some of which have been converted"

Watching The Waves
(Felpham Beach Near Bognor Regis West Sussex)
Gaze out across the sea.
Let the breeze refresh your mind.
Listen to the whispering waves,
Inspiration is what you find.

Plenty of original Victorian charm
With traditional seaside treats.
Roller coasters, candyfloss, fish and chips,
With spectacular views of the sea.
