Seashells Print

'Seashells' is a beautiful, timeless, contemporary piece of fine artwork by the Award Winning Artist Janet Gammans. It is an expressionist work of art with great tonal depth and contrast by using neutral tones of white, blue and brown colours. The artwork has been painted in an impressionistic, textural and semi abstract style. This piece has been inspired by my time spent by the coast, studying, drawing and 'living the life'. The artwork evokes an emotional response to forms, atmosphere and textures from rural aspects of rustic coastline. I have come to realize that it’s not ‘what you paint’ that is important, but ‘how you paint it’. So in my interpretation of painting a subject, I try to maintain the essence of what first inspired me to paint it. For me, what is fundamental in my paintings are light, subtlety of color, harmony, depth and drama, while still staying true to the subject. In my finished work, I hope that I have conveyed to the viewer a sense of mood, which was present at the time of painting it.ʺ Acrylic is my preferred medium when painting by the sea. The quick drying process helps me to work with a more reactive, immediate approach whilst hoping to achieve flow and continuity within the painting. More layers are applied at home in my studio, but the initial painting is inspired by the response to what is in front of me. I work initially with my hands/fingers because I find the brush at first, becomes an obstruction to my initial interpretation to the subject. I find I can manipulate the paint with ease in this way to give a even 'flow' and mix of texture and color. The artwork has been painted on professional primed art board and mounted on 6 mm MDF. The frame is made from solid wood and painted in a white satin paint which will suit practically all home interiors and enhance areas of interest in any room to create an eye catching feature and interesting focal point.
