This is a small 6 inch square oil painting on canvas board completed recently in one outdoor session. I was standing at my easel on a hill in The Oxwich National Nature Reserve, Gower. The beach, Oxwich Bay, is just over the brow. In the distance is the north Devon coast.

I was attracted by the simplicity of the composition, the sense of mystery and anticipation suggested by the sandy path and the emptiness of the scene.
