We're by the sea for today's #OnlineArtExchange @artukdotorg.bsky.social

We've chosen the paintings of Alfred Wallis - a self taught artist who first picked up a paintbrush aged 70! Having lived by the sea all his life, his works often feature port landscapes made with household paint on cardboard.

A work in progress. You might be able to make out the guide lines.

This is the Widey Oak in Widey Woods, Plymouth, estimated to be 500 + years old. A beautiful old wise one.
