Moody blues Painting

The inspiration for this piece came from a surf trip to Morocco, whilst there I spent a lot of time studying the seagulls, paying particularly attention to how the colour of their plumage changed ever so slightly when the mood of the sky came through. The teasing weightless blue turned towards a subtle vanilla grey, which eventually dampened out the sun, although the sun would gently burn through in places which gave the illusion of a very secretive and happy sky. On a day when the surf was washed out and the cool people were working on their sun tans, I headed to the beach to make some direct observation drawings of the seagulls accompanied by a few colour studies and photographs. When I returned to my studio I quickly made a start on this large painting while things were fresh in my mind - creating the painting was like visiting for a second time and gave me a real sense of escapism. This piece was hung at the Mall galleries, Royal society of Marine artists exhibition 2018
