WATERDANCE Painting

First place winner in the American Art Awards, landscape realism category 2024. This large and powerfully striking centre-piece waterscape painting focuses on the movements observed in the sea. Depicting mesmerizing movements that dance to the gentle rhythm of the sea whilst evoking a real sense of calm and tranquillity. With meticulous blending of superior high quality pigment rich oil paint on a relatively smooth linen surface, sometimes creating abstract shapes, this contemporary painting encapsulates the fluidity of the water. Ready to hang, with the necessary hardware, this painting is presented in the contemporary gallery wrapped style and therefore no additional framing is required. The painted image is carefully continued around the outside edges of the painting. For me the sea is a really important part of my life and continues to inspire my choice of subject matter. I began painting large waterscape type paintings in the 1970s and all these years later still enjoy having them on my easel. Timeless imagery. Materials used throughout are all of superior quality. The hardwood stretcher, oil primed linen canvas and professional grade paint all provide longevity.
