Original artwork description:

My paintings are often inspired by my love and fascination with ever-changing skies and cloud formation. I try to capture the movement and mood of the skies and sea - Calm and dreamy, to dramatic and surreal.
In this piece, I aimed to capture the tempestuous mood and foreboding eeriness, as the sea swells before a storm.
I study the sea and skies over Anglesey, North Wales and also the Cheshire hills, close to my home
The sky's layers and rolling waves are developed by forming texture through layering and blending the oil paint, building depth, movement and highlights.
