Original artwork description:

Mackerel Sky is a small sized seascape painted in oil on board. Painted in deep blues and grey with a flash of yellow cloud, the painting brings a sense of the energy of the sea.

I build up layers of paint to give a sense of depth. Clouds, sea and waves are created by flicking paint at the board and smoothing it in to bring energy and movement to the artwork. This process gives a semi abstract feel to the sea an the sky.

My work is about capturing moments. It could be the beach that I went to as a child, or on a family holiday, or the view from my daily country walk. Images may be based on a fleeting memory or a place that is visited over and over, each time seeing something different.

I aim to capture the essence of the place and the feeling that makes its special, maybe the sweep of the shore or curve of the land.

The painting is signed with initials on the back and framed in a Farrow and Ball Hardwick White painted frame.
