I produced many paintings and drawings of Portsmouth and Southsea but I won't put loads of them on here all at once. Here's a watercolour that was done on a little beach at Sally Port, Old Portsmouth and you can see the masts of the Warrior in the distance #art #watercolour #Portsmouth

Two of my watercolour drawings of the Warrior, Portsmouth. These were both done (plus others) sitting on the shore near the dockyard entrance in the early '90s. The first one was sold and the second one is a rather dull photo of the original #art #watercolour #Portsmouth #Warrior #pleinair

Two paintings of mine from the 1970s showing coastal plants growing on Eastney beach (still have these). I think they show the influence of Graham Sutherland who was a favourite artist of mine. #Portsmouth #Eastney #gouache #sepia

My watercolour from 1994 painted sitting on Eastney beach, Portsmouth. I love the memory that it captures. This pontoon is where one boarded the little ferry that my uncle Bobby skilfully guided across to Hayling Island through the fast flowing water. See alt text. #Portsmouth #Eastney #pleinair
This is the pontoon where one used to board the ferry at Eastney, Portsmouth, to cross the fast-flowing waters to Hayling Island. I sat on the beach in 1994 to paint this and I remember a goat was tethered nearby. It's unlikely that we will visit Portsmouth again but this was particularly memorable because the coxswain of the boat was my uncle Bobby Baker, one of my father's brothers. He was a lovely, good-humoured man, ex-naval. We had a chat with him but I think that was on an earlier occasion when we bought tickets and went over to the island.

This is an old watercolour drawing done from the top of the Round Tower in Old Portsmouth. In the distance are the masts of the Warrior ship. The Spinacre hadn't been installed at that time. #Portsmouth #watercolour
Watercolour drawing of Old Portsmouth looking from the Round Tower along Tower Street towards West Street. I think this historic area is referred to as Spice Island

One of my watercolour drawings of the Camber Docks in #Portsmouth, a fantastically characterful place often visited with my painting gear. This is from 1992, a painting completed on the spot and still in a portfolio.
Watercolour drawing of the Camber Docks in Portsmouth. During my brief year at Portsmouth Art College I used to come here with fellow students in breaks from the sculpture studios down the road. We sat in the greasy spoon café to the left of this view and drank in the Bridge Tavern.

A watercolour drawing of the Warrior off Portsmouth Hard. The rusty iron structure in the foreground makes an interesting part of the composition. I painted this in 1992 in one session sitting on the foreshore. #Portsmouth #Portsea #Warrior
The Warrior, Portsmouth dockyard, once the biggest and most powerful warship in the world.

As I haven't been to the seaside for a long time let's look back to some really old boat drawings of mine (and one watercolour). These are all on-the-spot #Portsmouth paintings from the '80s, still mouldering away in a portfolio. How I loved that time! (see alt text)

Another coloured pencil drawing of the Camber Docks, Portsmouth with ship builders Vosper Thorneycroft in the distance (1981). The Bridge Tavern pub had real character, frequented by me often!

One of my film photos from art school days in 1960's Portsmouth. I haven't been back for a long time and it has changed massively. That's the long-gone Verrecchia cafe in the distance on the left - a favourite haunt for me and my arty friends at the time. #Portsmouth

A watercolour from a visit back to Portsmouth in 1991: I did quite a lot of painting during that stay. Note the old gentleman on the left with his encampment of awnings and barrels. Managed to incude a couple of seagulls. #Portsmouth #watercolour #pleinair
A watercolour painted sitting on what is known as the Portsmouth Hard, a cobbled slope down to the sea close to the entry to the dockyard. This was among three paintings bought to hang in the Open University Arts Faculty a long time ago. The academic who arranged this has since died and I wonder if they are still there or maybe thrown out or left gathering dust in a store.
