Watercolour on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

Watercolours are my first love. Albeit wildly + delightfully unpredictable (i.e. fun!?), they are also steeped in tradition + conformity. This doesn’t sit well with me – I love pushing the boundaries.

With 'Escape', I wanted to use watercolours, but not framed paper under glass. I wanted a fresh natural piece that captured a coastal vibe.
And so I chose to prep ply as the substrate, then splashed about… and 'escaped' to create an artwork with a sun bleached, whitewashed look. I'm so happy with the outcome: the ply timber gives this a lovely texture easily discernible through the translucency of the watercolour. It hangs on the wall like a piece of driftwood would, and finished with a natural soft buffed wax.

This piece is an impetuous and free depiction of crystal clear turquoise waters, created from the mental vision I have of the many beautiful beaches I have visited. Every time I see it this artwork, I escape to a place of beauty and tranquillity: where the only sound is the waves gently washing into the shore.
Can you hear the calm?

This piece is painted with professional artist quality paint. It does not require framing, and comes ready to hang.

In situ artwork scale is approximate.
If this piece ticks all the boxes but isn't quite the right size, FINE ART REPRODUCTIONS are available.
