£1,500

One of my favourite places that I just can not help returning to. The aim of this painting is to express the multitude of colour that envelopes this high octane, nature charged bit of the West Coast of Cornwall. With the Gurnards Head behind me this is looking north, showing the great tall outcrops of granite. Formed by unimaginable pressure, now the home to a multitude of sea and bird life… a tough existence. Battered by a multitude of seas but in this case heaving and powerful. I love the danger, the rawness, the noise and yet this holistic calm reigns over this place. I am happy to see this painting as a reminder that this place continues to rotate in its permanence. As I write this I am tapping into those painting experiences, it’s wonderfully real. In the fore ground, the only reminder of human intervention. A great hole sculpted by the Cornish Tin miners. 100 metres deep and then out to sea, under the sea in a westerly direction. Its presence adds a reminder to our constant will to tap into natures resources.

Materials used:

The ink is pure pigment based and the best on the market. We use the highest quality archival Hahnemule paper. Hahnemühle’s Photo Rag Smooth® is a white 100% cotton paper
