Ocean Sunset

This lovely original, heavily textured acrylic painting was inspired by my walks on the beach late in the afternoon. As the sun sets it glows on the water and makes for a very peaceful setting. I used many different techniques including crackle paste, spraying and palette knife to achieve the effect of water flowing over the rocks and a brilliant sky. The painting continues around the edges and has three coats of archival varnish. It is ready to hang .

I am an Australian artist, formerly of Sydney and now living in Noosa. I have been passionately painting for over 20 years and paint in acrylic and oils. My style is somewhat eclectic as I love to use all the wonderful mediums and paints available to artists these days. Most of my work is highly textured and I use a broad spectrum of colours to portray the beautiful beaches on the coast and the amazing deserts, gorges and open spaces of our awesome outback.I also spend five months or so in the alpine regions of Queenstown, New Zealand and am inspired by the beautiful mountains, snow and lakes there. There is nothing so rewarding as loosing oneself in the all consuming art of painting. I hope you enjoy looking at the results of my passion. My paintings are in collections around the world.
