On a recent trip to the beach I was so inspired by the colors. It bought me back to my childhood days on the beach, so peaceful and perfect. This painting had to be born. Though clearly an abstract piece, there are such elements here with strong ties to beaches, sailing villages, piers and St. Ives!  If you look close you will even see the tiny strip of Chinese paper..my father used to help me dig in the sand, said we would reach China and I would keep going. :)  Looking further, there are boat shapes, fishing lines, dunes, drift wood, sails. What do you see and feel?  This piece is created on canvas using acrylic  and textile, pastel, graphite and charcoal. I continue to explore line  and negative space where shapes meet and overlap with painterly gestures.  This work is sealed with a gloss varnish and framed with a simple wood strip frame. The piece is signed on the back.
