Original artwork description:

Ever since childhood I have been captivated by the sea, in particular where it meets the land. Its constantly changing colours and textures are mesmerising.  Strolling along the shoreline or clifftop deliver such evocative sights,sounds and smells leaving imprints of so many varying emotions in one's memory.  My coastal seascape paintings are influenced by my passion to convey these emotions in all their colours.   This piece was inspired by these very same emotions rekindled by way of my colour studies and sketches in the studio.  The quality of light and mood is both ephemereal  and yet enduring.  

With oils in hand I made a few quick sketches and notes.

On returning to the studio I worked on the composition and started to produce the final artwork. It certainly lifts one's mood to see the beauty of light in nature.

Dipping Our Toes is a framed (white grained wood please see images)original oil painting created and painted by myself. The back of the artwork is signed and you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity.
