Original artwork description:

This art work is painted with artist quality oil paint (Michael Harding) has excellent colour fastness, The work is painted on a tradition gesso ground and is titled and signed on the reverse. The painting has a flat, matt, non-reflective surface and doesn't require hanging hardware.

This recent body of work are intended to be "vessels for contemplation". The open vistas are devoid of detail. Seabirds, boats and evidence of coast line are deliberately omitted from these seascapes so that the viewer has pictorial space to implant their own memories. The slight blurring/haziness is also intended to invoke a distant memory or recollection. The views are from Portland across the English Channel in Dorset, UK, my childhood home.
