Original artwork description:

"Sunset Cove" is an expression of a peaceful seaside scene in the evening. I'm always inspired by the sea and the beautiful blues of the ocean. I hope to convey a feeling of tranquillity in this painting while evoking the feeling of walking on a quiet sunset beach when the sea is calm.

"Sunset Cove" is an original work of art and one of a kind. This painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas, I have also used sand from the beach in the foreground to build up texture. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.

For secure shipping work is packaged carefully, insured and tracked for the journey using Parcel Force from the UK. I am more than happy to answer questions regarding my methods and techniques.
