Chris Williamson

Chris primarily works in oil on panel and likes to visit the Norfolk coast for a beer and inspiration when time and finance allows.
As you can see, he quite likes dogs.

  Must play havoc with his piles.

  He remembered that as a young man,
  Maybe eighteen or nineteen perhaps,
  The look of surprise on her face,
  The day he first came home with crabs.
- The Nap at Walcott Gap

  Where the coast road meets the sea
  To sit, relax and cogitate
  Before we both head back for tea.

  on this convenient lamp-post
- The Cley Beach Bump
  
  Original oil on board, 30x30cm, £495 framed.
  
  The waves can only go so far
  before they reach a pebbly bump.
  Sometimes strong waves can wash over this
  and that can make you jump.
- Cold Cley
  
  Original oil on board, 30 x 30cm, £495 framed.

  As the snow fell hard and settled,
  the sky turned bluey-grey.

  Oil on board, 31x 50cm, £695 framed.

  and bits of tile from someones floor.

  "Lime greens, ochres, reds and yellows..."
  as we walk along the country lane.
- No Show
  
  Original oil on board, 35x35cm £495 Framed. SOLD
  
  'Let's go to Cromer Pier' he says
  'we can go and see a show'
  but they didn't do doggy tickets
  what to do now? We don't know...
- Saffron Cottage
  
  Original oil on Board 21x31cm £395 Framed SOLD
  
  As we walk back from the harbour,
  from the sounds of the pier and the sea,
  I sense the guests at Saffron Cottage
  are having kippers for their tea.
- The Beach near Overstrand
  
  Original oil on board, 30x30cm, £495 framed.
  
  The crumbling cliffs are to our right
  and then a nice expanse of sand.
  His head's reflected in the watercourse
  making its way from Overstrand.
- The Brancaster Buoy
  
  Original on oil on board 35x35cm £495 framed.
  
  I barked at this red and white thing,

  He said "God's sake Darcy! -
  Do you say that to all the buoys.
- The Clam Shells
  
  Original oil on board 35x35cm £495 framed

  to some lovely shores near Thornham.
  Tons and tons and tons of seashells
  at the waters edge adorn 'em.

  The bench near the wall with the flint.
  Where she said “I'd like to get married’,
  and luckily, he took the hint.
- The North Sea Coffee
  
  Oil on board, 35x35cm £495 framed. SOLD
  
  On our walk along the front he said,
  "I'd like a hot drink don't you know"
  So he had a mocha, I had water,
  at The North Sea Coffee Co.
- The Pier Review
  
  Oil on board, 35x35cm £495 Framed.
  
  Half way through our evening walk,
  he'll sometimes grasp the railings here,
  to look out on the sea

  was muddy and clogged with weeds.
  Suddenly, I heard a bird or something
  scrabbling in the reeds.
- The Seagrass

  The grass sways to and fro,
  blown by a westerly wind.
