Artwork Description

Swell is a compatible piece to Sea Dragon that I created in the summer from the same palette of sea blues and greens. With this painting I aimed to create a painting that reflects Queensland's tropical summers storms.
The movement and flow of the paints created the evolving churning swell of the ocean.
Swell was created using the technique of Acrylic pouring. I used high quality acrylic paints mixed with pouring medium on a deep edge canvas. I felt this technique helped to create the movement and depth of the piece.
Please note the dimensions below, as the staged picture above is enlarged to highlight the details and nuances within the painting.
A certificate of Authenticity and a personal note to my buyer is also included with this original Artwork.

Artist Bio

My art is a dialogue between the coastal landscapes of my current life in Australia and the cherished memories of my childhood holidays in North Wales, and my Mum's summer flower garden.
Moving to Australia 20 years ago connected me back to the sea and it's summer sunset skies, but my paintings are deeply rooted in the nostalgic warmth of childhood summers—playing on northern Welsh beaches with my family, and helping my Mum in the garden cutting roses carnations and lilac blooms. Their sweet scent in the warm summer air was magical.
Painting is my ultimate sanctuary; when I start to mix up some paint or pick up a brush, it is a pure, immersive escape, accompanied only by some music, a coffee and my dear old dog Peps.
