"Rock Pools, 2012" by Jessica Bleasby
“I created this painting after a trip to beautiful Devon in September 2012. It is inspired by all the rocks and pebbles that come alive with colours as the sea washes into the pools. I find rock pools a place of curiosity and wonder. I used very flowing and fast brush strokes to give the affect of movement and water swirling and hitting the rocks. I wanted to incorporate the bright blue September sky which can be seen as reflection in this abstract rock pool. The paint I have used is very thick and took months to dry. I used a combination of techniques including pallet Knife and splattering paint across the canvas. I have also added fine artists glitter to give it an extra magical touch.”
