Original artwork description:

“Hole In The Rain” is an acrylic on canvas painting 70cmsW x100cmsH x3.5cmsD. The painting continues the series of land, sea and sky. It takes its name from a John Martyn song of the same name. The painting is inspired by the light reflected on a beach wet with rain and tide. Walking the dunes on bright mornings the colours of ochre sands, marsh green and umber dunes against peach pink and powder blue skies are indeed inspirational. Please see the photographs that document this inspirational setting. This isn’t a literal painting. It doesn’t attempt to replicate a ‘scene’, but it does try to capture the atmosphere of an open beach seascape. I try to capture atmosphere as opposed to graphic detail. I see it as an image that celebrates the natural colour of a coastal environment. I am fascinated by the curious amalgam of warm and cool colours in such landscapes. I look to artists such as Barbara Rae, Mark Rothko, JMW Turner, the Fauvists and Monet and the Post-Impressionists for inspiration. The work is shipped in a heavy duty card crate.
