Original artwork description:

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. ”
― Christopher Paolini, Eragon Book 1.

If you have ever stood and watched the sea during a storm you realise how beautifully the author has described it in this quote. You can't help but be in awe at the sight and sound of waves in a storm crashing and booming against the cliffs or surprised at how swiftly it can change from that to calm, gently shifting tides.

This painting was inspired from a trip to see the high spring tides at Cromer in Norfolk. I watched as the winds whipped the waves into a frenzy and hurl boulders as big as your head onto the prom for an hour like an angry old man until the tide eventually receded and the sun came out. It was as if it had never happened, and you may not have believed it if not for the toppled beach huts and rocks strewn across the paths.

The sense of power and vitality stayed with me and led to a series of paintings of tumultuous seascapes. I wanted to capture the energy and power of nature in this piece.
