Horden Beach, County Durham in progress mixed media collaged paintings
Still adjusting the layers on these mixed media collage paintings, based on walking along the beach at Horden, County Durham. Making about 7 different compositions, various sizes and grounds at the same time is quite a fun way of creating this body of work.

Preliminary works based on walking along North East Coast - Horden Beach
Horden is a former mining community on the North Sea coast, about 12 miles south of Sunderland. The long beach, composed mainly of shingle and pebble, backed by grasslands and cliffs, bears testament to this industrial past. Colliery waste used to be dumped here, and there was a time when the sand was blackened by coal-stained waste.
Today, this stretch of the coastline has been regenerated, and most of the coal deposits have been gradually washed away by the sea. Some of the rocks here have an interesting hue, being stained by iron-ore.
