This work has a structural drawing underpainting with lyrical paint application in higher layers. This is intended to contrast traditional picture space and emotive subconscious sensory responses to the subject. This seascape is an expressionist interpretation of the solitude I experienced in my youth amongst the  littoral adjoining Sydney beaches and coves which I saw as a refuge from the hurly burly of Sydney life.

This is a romanticised view of wildlife in a natural setting.  I have been focusing in my studio on interpreting experiences from my own life and my ancestors' social histories in utilizing traditional oil painting techniques. I am particularly interested in Baroque, C18th and C19th Realism and Romanticism.  This art interest overlaps with my interest in Ancestral and Social History. Cool colour composition . Atmospheric picture space using aerial perpsective. Wildlife in fringe suburb wilderness. Subjective interpretation of living near wilderness. Intensified emotional response to subject. Exaggerated colour Expressive linear interpretation of the memory of a significant place. Vibrant colour work. High contrast of hues. Aggressive application of paint. Highly textured. Rugged form. Expressionistic interpretation of a sense of place. Metaphysical isolation of beach.  Contemplative mood.
