These are small and perfectly-formed coastal oil paintings - two highly finished and the other a vibrant plein air sketch.
Hayden has captured the energy and colour of the sea in various seasons, whether it's surf against the rocks or the misty winter sunlight, the play of shadow across the water and the dry bleached reeds in the foreground.
The first two are Cornish scenes, not far from the artist's home. The third shows Priding which is a hamlet near Stroud and on the horeshoe bend of the river Severn estuary, very close to the artist's former home.
In typically grand-style records of British landscape, but on a miniature scale, Hayden has confidently handled challenging perspective and scale and reflected the beauty of the wonderfully-lit scenes.
For anyone wanting to own a Hayden Price original - but needing to manage a budget - these pieces are the perfect solution.
ABOUT HAYDEN PRICE
Hayden has lived in Gloucestershire for most of his life and it's the region he paints most.
The seasons, with their changing light and colours, are his inspiration and his oil work is a detailed reproduction of the atmosphere, light and depth, sometimes to photo-realistic levels.
He has an astonishing ability to render natural textures, field crops and other landscape features. Works like this are painted over many months and require brushes of sometimes a single strand.
Sketching, painting and recording scenes and vistas, Hayden also travels the country and beyond to capture architecture, coast and landscape.
He has twice been accepted into the Bath Society of Artists exhibition, in the second year winning the public's favourite painting. Self-taught, he has been painting since he was 15.
