Sandsend Breakwaters in the Sunshine, Oil on Board, 16"x8".
Showing at: Trattles & Geall Fine Arts, Whitby.

Painted these breakwaters a few times now (and no doubt will again) as there is a lot going on in them. Waves building and breaking, reflections, colours, light, movement.

I have started to focus on coastal scenes more recently, drawn to where moving water meets seemingly immovable objects. Trying to get that sense of energy, changing colours, depth, reflections and weather is the challenge.

A pretty abstract image. Quite a challenge to get the movement of the sea before it hits the beach.

A wet day on the beach with the tide coming in. I am always drawn to these battered breakwaters as they calmly march into the oncoming waves. The overcast sky and the wet sand made for interesting reflections and a challenge to capture in paint.
