A quiet winter evening in Staithes.
Snow falls softly over the harbour, the iconic Cod & Lobster glowing warmly beneath a streetlight. Sprocket waits patiently, eyes bright, hoping for one last throw before heading home.
This atmospheric illustration captures the magic of Staithes transformed by winter — peaceful, nostalgic and full of quiet joy.
A Different Side of Staithes
Most people know Staithes for summer holidays and sunlit harbour views. But in this piece, I’ve chosen to celebrate something rarer — the stillness of snow, the golden glow of lamplight, and the simple happiness of a dog who never quite wants the game to end.
It’s a love letter to:
Specialist Dog & Weimaraner Art
I’ve been creating playful, dog-centred artwork since 2005, combining professional Surface Pattern Design training with a lifelong love of dogs.
Many collectors recognise Sprocket’s elegant Weimaraner silhouette — expressive, loyal and full of character. But this piece is for all dog lovers.
Because every breed has that same hopeful look when you say, “Just one more throw.”
