Pretty much says it all in the title. Was exploring Bucksmill in north devon with it in mind to surf in winter. Think I prefer other side of the river Taw but then I’m getting a bit spoilt living here. 🤷‍♂️ #bucksmill #waterfall #beach #devon #geology #sunset

Pure tranquil beauty. Nature at her best on the beach at night with town lights twinkling in the crashing waves. Doesnt get better for thenaudory and visyal stimuli mix formoeace on our senses. #art #nature #waves #lights #sound #meditation #relax #beauty

This is just part of a series of me documenting how amazing and beautiful and in love with water especially the sea I am. I’m super privileged to be able to live right beside it and capture these moments when the light and time and conditions with the wind, et cetera all allow it to show its beauty. I want to bring them to other people for those who might be frustrated and not able to get to the ocean sea like I was for a lot of years. Also, I’m well aware that anything is possible in life that any of us including myself could have something that incapacitates and doesn’t allow me to get as close as I as I can tho the see the water and its moods. With this in mind I want to build a big library of these beautiful moment just in case. So many years to come hopefully I’ll be able to sit back in my armchair and go through all of these time and time again and just sit and meditate and feel the beautiful energy water around our coast lines has. As well as bringing it to other people. So that’s what these videos are about. Punctuating my artwork videos with, the inspiration for my artwork (see online portfolio www.russellscottskinner.com for that side of things)  here  is this beautiful landscape I live right beside in North Devon. #ilfracombe #ocean #water #Nature #NaturesEnergy #Meditation #Sunset   #devon #devonart #nature #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #beach #coast #beachart #surf

Shows the beautiful relationship between the seas and the lands when high tides combined with a storm across this amazing geology in North devon. Nature showing off in her unmatchable sculpturess skills. Unlimited time, repetition and patience using Dark sands, rocks, winds and swells as her tools. Not ideal for sunbathing though but sure helps me appreciate when the sun does grace us with its presence. #devon #devonlife #storm #geology #sea #ocean #erosion #sculpture #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers

Combesgate, we finally get our date and was totally work the wait. Super glassy. Perfect size and lovely vibe in and around the water. Tripped out when got nailed and lost ear plug / mould. Thought 🤷‍♂️ what you gonna do. Paddled for 4-5 strokes and up it just popped. Was a proper tumbler for a while under water too. Also these plugs normally sink. Was really weird and amazing at same time. Just delivered onto the front of my board. Then got home and found another set that were tailor moulded too. Been MiA and written off last summer. Strange goings on but special too. 🙏🏻 #combesgate #surf #russellscottskinner #artist #photographer #naturelover #devon #explorer . . . . #nature #naturesenergy #photography #sky #sunset #skies #beach #surf #artistsoninstagram #art #northdevonsurf #painting #surfinglife #devonsurf #coast #devonart #croydeart #oceanart #beachart #energy #landscape #surfer #devonart

The other day, it was a a beautiful crisp, chilly windy winter day as I drove past Saunton Beach in Devon. I can help but stop I’m so pleased to dare to capture this footage of these wave lines rolling in. as a surfer and massive water lover, it was just hypnotically beautiful. Your love the technology to be able to easily pull a video camera out your pocket and record it so that when I’m an old man I might not be able to access to things as much as I’d like I could sit and look at this. Or for all those out there is privileged to be able to live or get by the sea as much as I do, I just wanted to capture a few minutes of it to share so that everyone can have a little bit of relaxation time with this magnificent view. All the best. #devon #nature #naturephotography #saunton #surf #waves #beach #surfers #devon #mediation #relaxing #relax

Well, it’s New Year’s Eve 2023 as the wind roars outside and everyone’s tucked away. Nature definitely has been flexing her muscles again as the ocean roars and pounds Ilfracombe in north devon and the rest of the coastline here in the UK and England. Beautifully humbling and amazing displays of the shear power and energy in nature. #devon #nature #naturephotography #storm #waves #meditation #naturelovers #ocean #water #storms #ilfracombe #devon

When you’re actually contemplating surfing to Martyn, that’s normally like a pond you know it’s rough out there. Still beautiful in all its moods nature doing her thing. #devon #nature #naturephotography #Combemartin #surf #kayak #waves #storm #devon #moody 

 Croyde Beach in North. Devon is definitely one of Devon‘s best surfing beaches. The geology of the beach means that it doubles the power of the waves. Not a secret spot at all as you’ll find it absolutely heaving during those peak periods. Relax for a minute though as the beast sleeps on a cold sunny winters day in December.  #Croyde #CroydeBeach. #Surfing #Sun #Devon 

Nature and the sea sure was a moody beastie today as she fully flexed her muscles in a quiet sulky way. To a background of rumbling thunder and hard rain as every person ducked for covered, or watched in sheltered awe. This is what we expected from the calm storm just gone. But this mood just slipped through unnoticed till now, pounding all of the windows and shutters at night. #nature #devon #ilfracombe #naturelovers #naturephotography #ocean #sea #storm #stormciaran #weather #naturephotography #oceans #waves #wave #russellscottskinner #artist #photographer #naturelover

Storm ciaran was forecast and it’s amazing, beautiful and humbling to see nature for ing her muscles and reminding us that we are small and not as significant as we think on the planet. Swept through the south west of England yesterday and looks like we dodged some of the worst according to the media. That’s if it’s all as made out and not hyped up for views and hits. 🤔 #storm #stormciaran #nature #naturelovers #naturephotography #ocean #weather #sea #ilfracombe #devon

Beautiful sunset across the water at Ilfracombe. As the water laps and sculpts the rocks into their beautiful sculptures.

Nature pounding and sculpting rocks for millions of years before and after I’ve stood here. I love being dwarfed by her beauty and can help but add to part of my library of Water, ocean and the sea for anyone who can’t ever make it to be in the palm of this greatness.

The water turned beautifully clear here in Ilfracombe in North Devon. I’ve only been here just over 4 years, but I’ve never seen the water so clear as it’s been over the last few weeks. Surfs come in a bit and now change that. it’s been amazing to have some surf come through, but equally it’s felt like living by the Mediterranean for a brief period.

This is for myself and anyone who loves the oceans energy, power, rhythm, motion and magic. For anyone who struggles to get to the sea and water for what ever reason and for myself in the future should I be in that position. Just being by the ocean is humbling and beautiful. There’s a magic to it and just watching it is meditative, hypnotic, healing, calming and humbling. It’s a privilege to live by it and was always a life long dream. To be able to see and record her throughout her moods. It’s a beautiful relationship. That’s all for now. #natureisamazing #ocean #mediation #nature #devon #waves #geology #ilfracombe #naturesounds

Chill out and meditate for two or three minutes to watch the tide, pushing up around the rocks, angiology at Combe’s gate beach right next to Woolacombe and Mortehoe in North Devon. Beautiful on a sunny day. 

Well as a water lover I can’t get enough of it. That’s why I live by it. And after the winter the seas slowly returning to its turquoise beauty. In this video you can see it’s energy against the static artificial man made concrete and steel. You can feel it’s rhythm and life unto itself. Also it’s like a few minutes of mediation. So enjoy and for more creative stuff. From original paintings, photography books and video visit www.russellscottskinner.com
