Playing By The Jetty

The Beach

Come to the beach
Where the sea is blue
And little white waves
Come running at you.

A wave comes splashing
Over your toes
You just stand still
And away it goes.

We'll build a castle
Down by the sea
And look for shells
If you'll come with me.

Celebrating memories of the beach, this painting has been completed with a palette knife and brushwork to create bold colour, texture and movement.

Originally‚ I picked up the palette knife to loosen my painting technique. With a brush in hand‚ I was often tempted to agonise over the detail. I actually love the loss of control that the knife provides and the application of oil paint with its buttery texture.
