Paintings made slowly, in a room with north light

The first of a group made from drawings on the tidal flats at first light.

The largest of the group, and the one that decided the palette for the rest.

A single wall, painted eleven times across a year, at the same hour each time.

Late afternoon, and the only one in the group with a figure in it.

Eighteen sheets made on site over three weeks, shown as one work.

Two years of drawings in one painting, made in six weeks.

The same ground, without leaves, and almost without colour.

Twenty-four small panels, each a single mixed grey.

The painting the estuary group came out of, three years earlier.

A single ground colour, left almost entirely alone.
