This scene is an expression of sea and surf on a quiet evening at sunset. Using acrylics and the texture of sand, I've worked in an impressionistic style beginning en plein air capturing the serene mood of the shore at low tide. The sea shore takes on a new light in the glorious colours of the setting sun, it is momentary, changing constantly. The semi-abstract forms convey the sense of tranquillity, inviting the viewer into a realm of peaceful contemplation and will infuse any space with its soothing energy.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints and sand on a deep edge canvas. 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.
