Original artwork description:

“The Sandtreader” is an acrylic painting on canvas 76cm wide x 102cms height. The painting is inspired by landscape. The painting takes its initial inspiration from a location of open and wild un- manicured land and seascape. The painting is part of a series related to land, sea and skies.
As a painter I don’t want to avoid immersing myself in trouble. I want to be in a mess and to struggle out of it. I want to invent, to discover, to imagine, to accept creative accident … it’s how I learn. I don’t want to replicate what exists. I can love or dislike that for what it is. My work is about finding avenues of creative energy. It means I can enjoy looking and become inspired by the natural world and its landscape. I can enjoy viewing our world for what it is and then respond through expressive painting. I feel better for it. I take inspiration from modern colourists such as Hans Hoffman and abstract expressionist painters such as Franz Kline. I also take inspiration from the COBRA painters such as Cornielle and Karel Appel. 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 £80
