• Nelly P - A photo of Nelly on a beach with blue sky and a white Boat Cove logo frame

    Hi! I'm Neil a.k.a. Nelly. I'm an artist, illustrator and writer.

  • Creating Seaside Art

    I create my artworks by drawing in pen and ink on paper while on location, not from photographs, and hand colour them by eye digitally . I do not use any AI-assisted tools, unlike many people these days. I use my 30 years of experience of hand-colouring.

    Read more about me and my art.

  • Living by the Sea

    I love to take my little boat 'Monique' along the coast, or tour our towns and villages and discover the beauty in the coastline, ancient harbours, boats and historic buildings.

    I am also a writer, you can read my articles about the oceans in my Boat Cove Journal.
