Je  Jean's Walk borders an inlet at Hessle Foreshore and runs between a wooded area and the tidal shoreline of the Humber Estuary. There are old posts and bollards lining the walkway where vessels used to moor up. It is an interesting place to visit. In the painting above you can see some old wooden staging in the background. The foreground is dominated by a deep shadow created by a very large metal mooring bollard. I aimed to capture the aged look of the wooden posts as the bright summer light fell on them.
