Paintings of North Norfolk

DAVID ATKINS – SOLO SHOW OF THE NORTH NORFOLK COAST

Solo Exhibition of New Paintings at Burnham Market Gallery

A Morning Walk on Brancaster Beach oil on board 61x81cm

‘This new body of work has been made over the past year with most recent visit in early spring.

   Working in the places familiar to me I have throughout the seasons responded intuitively to the weather, light and the space of what’s in front of me.  Each season for me contains a particular feeling and this I think finds its way into the work.  Autumn offers such rich, deep colours and dramatic skies.  Winter is a challenge with gun metal greys and silver light. Summer was a joy being on the beach trying to capture the heat and brightness with day-trippers enjoying the sea, sun and sand.  I waited patiently for the spring before my last visit and delighted in days where colour was returning to the land and sky.  Cobalt blues, hints of pink and splashes of bright yellow combined with the chorus of birds singing in the gentle warmth of lengthening days.

These paintings of Norfolk I hope convey some of the beauty of this place and the continuing inspiration I find here.’

Sea Paths and City Streets

The sun is setting and I’m racing to put down colours and marks in a frantic struggle to capture this moment. I know it’s my only chance and that tomorrow things will be different.

In all the places I visit there is an opportunity to paint the light, space and the life going on in front of me. I’m painting towards getting a feeling of a place, a day, the weather, and the season.  I do this using large brushes, lots of paint and a great deal of hope.

Paintings of North Norfolk

Fairfax Gallery      Burnham Market Norfolk

I lived for a short time in North Norfolk in 1991 and since leaving have visited every year to paint.  It is a hauntingly, beautiful landscape with incredible light, space and skies.  My paintings are an ongoing testament to the landscape of this place.
