Suffolk Pink

The Pink Lighthouse

I have been having fun and experimenting again with digital painting in the Cabine.

Many vernacular buildings in Suffolk, particularly thatched cottages, are rendered and colour-washed. The locally preferred hue for colour-washing is pink and is therefore known as 'Suffolk Pink', My painting The Pink Lighthouse is a celebration of this local architectural style and the maritime history of the Heritage Coast.

I created The Pink Lighthouse using a combination of software packages and techniques. I hope the imagery, light, colours and textures in the painting reflect life in our Suffolk-coastal towns and villages.
This summer, why not visit Suffolk and the Heritage Coast?  There is much to do, great places to stay, excellent local food and you might get to see a lighthouse or two!
