Norwich-based artist Leon Bunnewell painted the seascapes and landscapes of the beautiful county of Norfolk, he was a well known figure on Cromer Beach. A self-taught artist, who almost always worked outside throughout the year in all weathers, he painted quickly in a single session, working loosely, colourfully and often vigorously.

Leon aimed for spontaneity and freshness to create a painting with character, personality and feeling, “I hope to describe how the subject behaves and feels, not just how it looks.” He said. He continually attempted increasingly difficult and challenging subjects and different techniques, often depicting scenes where there is quite a lot of activity and those in which he sensed some kind of uniqueness.

His subjects include beach scenes, landscapes, and street scenes (often at night) often with very expressive figures included. His main medium is oils, although for sometimes Leon would work with acrylics. He has also experimented with watercolours and pastels and completed many pencil drawings.
