I have just completed a beautiful pair of paintings of Croyde bay which will be made into a framed limited edition print set of 20 later in the Autumn. These original oil paintings will be for sale later in the year when they have dried. They are about 1.2 metres across and 0.6m high framed with a white block frame. These two paintings are most interesting capturing the feelings and atmosphere of the bay in such stunning colours and textures using palette knife techniques. They are a composition of images from a few similar view points to get the painting to work to its fullest and capture the eye and imagination.

Naked Lady painting for sale in lingerie stockings and suspenders and basque
Naked ladies paintings are a one apart from the rest of my painting series. There are so many reasons for this and it works on so many levels. But for all my reasons you can’t get away from the fact that the paintings are just straightforward sexy. Shapes and curves of naked ladies are unforgettable, unmistakable and deeply embedded in the mind from as far back as history goes. These shapes and forms are fundamental to human survival just like the air we breathe.
I love painting the naked ladies paintings because the form is so simple and flowing that it really frees up the canvas to explore some deep and luscious colours and textures. Within the canvas I take the naked ladies as the form within which I can fit a beautiful and elegant abstract colour combination. In some of the paintings the naked form can be hidden within this elegant display and in others the form is most obvious and shapely.
Many interior designers commission some of the more abstract naked ladies paintings to
Naked Lady painting in lingerie stockings and suspenders and basque
grace the walls of many elegant historic houses. It is the deep reads in the paintings that many designers seek, to match the colour scheme in traditionally decorated house of such deeply coloured walls. These paintings add a real richness and depth of colour to the wall and their semi abstract nature adds a tasteful and interesting focus point to the wall which will always be a talking point when your guests really work out what they are looking at. These luscious deep red paintings also make a great painting to brighten any boudoir.
This series of naked lady paintings is all about Basques, stockings and suspenders. The paintings are all about shape, suspense and intrigue. Suspenders and stockings accentuate the natural curves of the female body, the straight lines work well against the natural flowing curves of the body. The lingerie and Basques provide an exciting element of suspense concealing the body from full view. In its natural form the body can be quite
Red hot nude painting for sale with basque and stockings. Sexy
gentle and delicate but the partial concealment of the form changes all of this into another arena. These simple shape forms provoke such intense feelings and this is replicated in the paint and texture of the paintings. Deep colours of crimson red, magenta, purple and hot blues all make for a powerful painting full of life and depth. I have to admit these are my favourite paintings to paint as they are such a challenge. Simple flowing shapes unlike a complicated landscape which leaves the brush free to concentrate on the colours and textures of the paintings to create the evocative form emerging from a sea of colour.
I moved to Croyde a few years ago having lived on and off in north Devon for many years in between travels and living in India and the Alps. I had the studio based at Braunton where I sold my paintings for many years when I wasn’t in India.
Croyde really grew on me. Its like a hidden gem in this busy and over done world, hidden in its own little bay with a lovely grassy park centre to the village and dunes backing the
Sunset with the family and the dog at Croyde
beach. The beach has a lovely curve with Down End at one side and Baggy point at the other. If you know where to go these headlands have some fantastic swimming holes where you can swim and dive when the surf is flat. And if you can get down deep enough you can fill your pockets with huge crabs and lobsters.
Croyde ocean wave painting for sale
In the middle of the beach are some amazing sand banks which throw up the surf to a wonderful shape which helps on small waves days to give a fun punchy wave which is great to ride. The expansive scene has been the source of many paintings around the bay. I have painted the bay from many angles and even painted the Thatch pub in Croyde village. But my favourite paintings here have been a close up focus of the waves as they have such a lovely powerful shape which merits capturing in oil on canvas. With a good zoom lens I have taken some great images on some mega wave days where only the brave may tread. Get this

wave wrong on a big day and it can really do some damage, and that’s if the crashing surf doesn’t beat you back to the shore before you have even reached the clean break out back. This wave really frightens me as the lip of the wave curls over past the base and you look over the abyss with 10 to 15 foot drop straight down with a whole wall of water to follow and smash you down into a super size tumble dryer of bubbles and froth.
Sunset Oil Painting Saunton North Devon Coast
I painted a really moving series of paintings based on this wave shape of Croyde. From the original series I have three large paintings left all about 80cm x 80cm(or 100cm) in various shades of blues and turquoises with a splash of other colours to lift the light in the painting. Other paintings have been based on the surfers and surfing people playing and surfing in the waves and surf. Other sets of paintings have focussed on the lovely shape of the bay and the shape of the headland working with the sky and clouds as they sweep into the land from the sea. It’s a scene of light sea, sand, big skies and excitement.
My current commission is a large oil painting 1.2m wide of the view from Down End across the bay to Baggy point with the surf, beach and dunes forming centre stage.
When I moved to Croyde I started to get a taste for Woolacombe and Puttsborough beaches. I just loved cycling over the hill from Croyde to Puttsborough and taking a coffee at the café above the beach at Putsborough. Perfectly placed to watch the surfers and beach happenings, to photograph and compose paintings. Such a spot and with the headland stretching into the distance makes the perfect back drop. Beautiful waves and turquoise seas with welcome shelter from the South West sea breeze to clean up those rolling waves of surf magic.
Woolacombe Beach Huts Painting For Sale
When this beach really comes alive for a painting is as you walk or cycle along the coastal path behind the dunes, looking over the grasses and you see the amazing curve this beach has as it stretches so far up towards Woolacombe. Through the dunes here and across the beach I have painted some of my favourite sunset paintings. The colours can be quite amazing especially in the shoulder seasons of Spring and Autumn when the sun is
Puttsborough to Woolacombe beach painting for sale
lower in the sky, the colours seem to be sharper and more intense at this time of year. I paint sunsets all around the world, but it is the sunsets from the North Devon beaches that I paint again and again because no other sunsets have such a range of colours as here. On the beach at Woolacombe as the tide goes out or dare I say it even better after the rain, the beach turns into an enormous crystal clear mirror, reflecting the sky and the beach men and women, giving double the colour. This makes my sunset paintings so full of life and colour because you aren’t just restricted to painting the sunset in the sky, you get to paint it twice, in the beach as well. And not just the beach, the waves twinkle in the low sunlight and the flat sea beyond the breaking surf reflects the warm setting sun, mixing the yellows and pinks from the sun and the blue from the sky beyond to give the most amazing combinations of turquoise effects reflecting on the surface of the ocean.

Within these amazing sunsets I use a special technique from my Indian energy paintings which I developed during my years as an artist in India. I won’t go into great depth here but you can find it in other areas of the site, and if you look really hard on google you will

find little hidden corners of the site all about these special energy paintings. When I was in India over many years, at the start of my art and photography careers, I painted a series of energy paintings which were very spiritual and abstract. They were very popular and uplifting creating a feeling of light and love. They sold very well in India. When I returned to England after a few years it was in these sunset paintings of Woolacombe, Croyde and
Sunset Oil Painting for Sale from Woolacombe Beach
Saunton beaches that I began to use the same techniques to great effect. They work using colours and brush strokes, light and ever lighter tones and work to pull you into the painting to lift your spirits. This is the added dimension which is the main technical basis behind the sunsets series of paintings. It gives them light and joy and it is the way a sunset works that makes them so perfect for using my energy paintings techniques to create layers of feelings within the paintings .

My paintings are all about the ultimate joy in life which we can feel. They work to try to capture the joy and feelings of upliftment which we al seek to find through whatever we are doing.
oil painting on canvas for sale, inspired by the starting line up for Caribbean RORC 600 race from last year in Antigua
We all love to have fun, enjoy life, smile and be happy. Behind these emotions is a beauty which we can access at these special and rare times of pure pleasure, in whatever place or activity it may be.
I have spent much of my life chasing this illusive and special beauty which we feel in our times of joy and happiness; from the Himalayas, to the Pacific islands, from hedonistic skiing in the alps to sailing and surfing in the Caribbean, from spiritual gurus to beautiful women, from sunning in the Indian Ocean to blissful meditating in the depths of Asia’s spiritual heritage.
Large Paintings For Sale
I have chased this nugget of gold all round the world and it has been a lot of fun, it’s a really great job to have to do, but someone has to!
I always have my camera or paint brush to hand to capture these moments of pure happiness. When I hit on a particularly rich seam of pleasure, happiness, joy and fun I rush in to capture its essence. In these images and especially the paintings I have strived to distil this illusive path to joy and pleasure into a concentrated form. In my paintings I have used special techniques of light and dark, sparkling colours, inspirational brush strokes, gold and silver leaf and everything else which can stimulate these feelings of upliftment and pleasure. I try to produce a link from beyond the physical to make images which replicate these feelings in the paintings, once I have returned home. Fun, joy, happiness and pleasure rule the waves and oceans, so take a look at the painting to see if it works for you. It does for me. I love my paintings, do you?

This sunset painting is based on a West coast sunset from North Devon UK near the studio. The studio is very near to the ocean which lends a big influence to the paintings. Every day I cycle into the rising sun in the morning and the setting sun on the headland on the way to the studio to paint. This constant exposure to the sunsets and sun rises over the ocean lends itself beautifully to these large sunset oil paintings.
I use bold colour to its utmost to fill the paintings with a sense of joy and light. Combinations of bright colours in their pure form create vibrant memorable images. Pinks turquoises, blues and yellows work to construct an impression of the scene which captures not just the visual but much of the joy, energy and feelings to captivate the viewer. These large paintings are becoming a popular choice for collectors of art and paintings around the world.

Oil Paintings for Sale
Ever wondered about how our large colourful oil paintings for sale reach you in Europe. Below is an oil painting 80 x 100cm of a sunset at the beach at Saunton near the studio. The client, a very good customer from Monaco on the Southern Mediteranean Coast of France saw this painting on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/petecaswellpaintings and unfortunately it had sold.
I said I would tell her when I was painting another similar painting for sale as a few weeks later I would be painting another similar painting for an exhibition. I emailed her the jpg of the completed painting. She was very taken with the painting and bought it straight away by pay pal. I packaged the painting up very well in two layers of card, 3 of bubble wrap and all put in a tough plywood case which you can see below.
The Painting went straight to Monaco by air mail with UPS on a 24 hour service, all included in the price. Free shipping in Europe is included in the price. The painting arrived safe and sound and was very well received. I really enjoy sending the paintings all over Europe and worldwide, its a pleasure and i love to hear from you when they have arrived. For me this completes the painting process beautifully. The view you can see is the view out of one of the painting studio rooms over the orchard and wild flower meadow in the spring.

I have nearly completed this commission of this hot red nude oil painting for a lady client. I always love painting nudes, not just because they are stunning to look at, but it really helps with my painting style. They are so different to paint to the other subjects that I do, so that put me in a different frame of mind. You have to capture the nature of the person in the painting as well as what you see. This helps keep my style and technique fresh and new. Its a real pleasure to paint this one which will be custom framed in a gold frame and shipped off to the customer once I put the finishing touches to it. If you want to buy a nude painting take a look at the gallery of nude paintings for sale on the web site.
I was contacted by a lady about his particular nude oil painting for sale but it had sold, to another lady buyer during the summer. Nudes are very popular in these colours as they really look goo d on a wall if you are decorating. Deep reds really are hard to come by in paintings and these work a treat. Any way customer was very keen to have another nude, and this being a favourite of mine, I was only too pleased to paint another. This time it was a bit larger oil painting about 80 cm x 60cm which worked out beautifully on board and framed in a really rich real gold frame. The price was about the same for the commission as a normal painting of that size and it took about 4 weeks to complete. I usually do 2 paintings for a commission so you get a choice of 2 paintings. The lady buyer was very pleased with the finished painting and it was sent of by courier to her the next day.
