The Studio
‘The Studio’ at East End Green is situated in two and a half acres of garden and field, just outside Brightlingsea town itself. The field gently slopes down to a grass sea wall which borders Brightlingsea creek, affording views across the saltings towards St Osyth’s Creek. This location not only provides a tranquil haven but is also suitable for outdoor painting for students.

Colin Kirby-Green writes: I so was pleased when my late uncle's family agreed to my suggestion to include some of his work in a special section of my website. My uncle Philip would have liked to be known above all as an artist despite his success in his career with the Security Services.
