SOLD! The Swan Inn at Noss Mayo
Knowing that a new gallery would soon be opening in the Revelstoke Room next to the Village Hall in Noss Mayo, I decided – a year ago – to focus my attention on capturing scenes local to Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.
Although I now live in Salcombe, and most of my paintings features scenes close to my home, Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo are also close to my heart.
Decades ago, when my children were young, we would rent Rose Cottage, next to The Dolphin. When the tide was in, we’d visit the Swan Inn by boat. If the tide was out, we’d cross the causeway on foot. We also often ate at The Ship and enjoyed the views across to the Swan Inn. I have very many happy memories of those times.
Choosing which scenes to paint was therefore easy – and so it was that Low Tide at Newton Ferrers, Bridge End, Newton Creek and The Swan Inn at Noss Mayo were added to my portfolio of paintings.

All three images were on display in that new gallery – The Gallery Project – until recently, and this week, with all three of them back in my own gallery at home, the original of The Swan Inn at Noss Mayo has been sold – to someone whose house appears in the image.
AFFORDABLE ART
All three images and many more are also available as a fine art greetings card.
The Gallery Project in Noss Mayo stocks a selection of my cards. It’s open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays 11am-5pm from Easter until the end of September and from mid-November until 24 December.
There is also a Gallery Project at Avon Mill, and they have a selection of cards for sale (photo of me with all 12 designs).
In Salcombe, my cards are available within walking distance of the Loft Gallery: at Bonningtons the newsagents, and at the Salcombe Information Centre.
The full range is available at Malborough Post Office. View while you queue!
Just think: for less than 1% of the sales price of an original painting, you can invest in a fine art greetings card. Send it to a friend or frame it for yourself. Whistlefish sell frames that fit … about £10 each.
