Original artwork description:

“Feel Flow” is an acrylic and inks painting on plywood 92cms W x 65cms H x 2cms D. It is part of a new series of land, sea and sky paintings inspired by the Sefton UK, coastal landscape. I walk the coastline every morning as dawn is breaking. The skies I see are dramatic and the light on a bright morning illuminates the dunes. The colours are indeed stunning. Please see the photographs captured on my walks. They are not enhanced or embellished, the colours are true. The landscape is raw , wild, expansive and empty apart from the animal and bird inhabitants.
The painting is not literal. It is a response to the natural structure and space of the land, sea and sky. The horizontal planes divide the picture plane. The paintings in this series engage with the landscape and its complex history. I’ve always been fascinated by the sea. The light draws me there, particularly in winter when the sun is low. It’s not just scenery that I’m drawn to, but the manner in which the landscape changes itself and the way in which it bears the marks of nature.
In this series I worked from the photographs (snaps) I took in December 2020. Beginning a painting is always a challenge and meeting that challenge comes from experience, and learning from past mistakes. What happens en-route is frequently improvised. Painting is a journey with twists and turns along the way, sometimes there are positive creative experiences and sometimes disappointments. I frequently let paintings ‘rest’, rather than making a decision to end and move on to the next. A blank canvas or sheet of paper can be intimidating.
The painting is framed in natural pine. The painting is shipped in a robust custom made cardboard crate (same as those used to transport large screens). The painting is bubble wrapped to protect the canvas. Further wrapping is made with corrugated card. A wooden frame is placed inside the cardboard crate to preserve the structural strength of the packaging. Each painting is insured to its sale value. Shipping costs within the U.K. take into consideration weight and insurance. U.K. shipping costs for this artwork are £75
