A personal experience of Britain's estuaries
captured in pencil, paint and poetry. John's bold mark making is ideally suited
to capturing the dynamic, light filled landscapes and wide expenses of mud and
marsh. More intimate studies and paintings portray the unique diversity of life
and activity, whilst the informative text details the international significance
of the estuarine habitat and assesses the threats it faces today and in the near
future.

'John's wonderful paintings epitomise the beauty of simplicity.
All the drawings and sketches in the book were completed in the field but the
larger acrylic and oil paintings are studio creations...His use of colour is
often unconventional but never less than masterful and his compositional skills
are first rate too. I find I am inspired every time I look through this book and
just hope that one day I too can apply paint in such direct and effective
ways.'
