Original artwork description:

Painting of Old Harry's Rocks. One of a pair. Imposing chalk cliffs and stacks at the mouth of Poole harbour, Dorset, England. Composed to exclude the sky and focus on the churning waves the muscular rock formations and the dramatic cast of light. The brushstrokes are gestural, almost calligraphic, sculpting the forms and emphasizing the painting process.

Materials used:

oil on canvas
