Acrylic on wood, ready to hang.

Coastal cliff is inspired by walking on Dirrawong Headland, a part of Bundjalung National Park in Northern NSW. There are many trails throughout the headland and one can walk for hours enjoying the sights, smell and sounds that abound in the Australian bush.
A trail often leads to a wonderful vista of open sea and the adjoining coastline. Even though this work is semi-abstracted, this is what I have tried to capture in this work.

The work is made by pooling layers of different colour, shape and thickness. These are allowed to dry then more layers are added building up over time. In the detail photos you can see that the natural wood grain shows through here and there. In some places I have used the acrylics more like watercolour, allowing the colours to collect and collide. When I am happy that the work is complete, a final 2 layers of acrylic matt medium seals the work and creates a lovely silky matt finish.
The board is made from artist's quality birch wood that has been kilned dried to add strength and prevent warping. On the back are timber bracing bars, adding extra strength and durability.
The work is ready to hang. Although it would look great in a floating frame.
All works are carefully & expertly wrapped for shipping. I use recycled and upcycled wrapping and cardboard when appropriate to do so.
