Original artwork description:

beach scene in the Algarve, Portugal, one my most memorable holidays and favourite beaches.
*** this painting is shipped un-stretched, you will need to have it put on a wooden stretcher. **

I am drawn to depictions of leisure as beach or pool is a place where people are partly naked yet unaware and in a 'natural' settingso in some way this subject matter is timeless. I am drawn on the other hand to a nostalgic pleasure and it is difficult for me to separate the two, nostalgia from the depiction of pleasure if not impossible. This intersection is what I find interesting.
