"I'm drawn time and time again to the river that flows between Newcastle and Gateshead. 

It's full of contrasts - pleasure boats and canoeists bob about where mighty ships were once built and art galleries, hotels and bars are overlooked by the wonderfully engineered bridges.

With my artist's eye, I'm also drawn to the way that the Tyne captures the amazing sunrises and sunsets that we have in the North East."

‘The Bridges of Tyne’ is produced on canvas and mounted in a pewter style frame, with a pewter slip.
