Light on sea from my studio
20 x 24cm watercolour on paper with dried flower


This day winding down now
At God speeded summer’s end
In the torrent salmon sun
In my sea shaken house
On a breakneck of rocks......

Dylan Thomas, from his Prologue to his Collected Poems

Andrew Giddens lives within yards of the shore at Praa Sands between Helston and Penzance. From his nearby studio, on the cliff above the beach, he has a commanding view of the great roaring ocean, constantly washing and wearing the rugged edge of this part of Cornwall. This collection of 10 watercolour sketches, several incorporating seasonal found objects, was made from his studio as the summer of 2007 drew to a close.
