Artwork Description

Have you ever had that magical feeling of looking up to the surface when you are snorkelling on a glittery day? This painting is inspired by swimming and snorkelling near the magic pylons of the Busselton jetty with their soft corals and seaweeds swaying in the current - magic!
Painted around the edges so no need to frame.

Karen Shilkin 25 artworks | 4 Sold

I am drawn to the theme of water, whether it is the feeling of looking up through water; what it looks like from an aerial view, or what lives in and near water, and to convey it I experiment with textured surfaces and layered colour . My underwater paintings are inspired by Busselton Underwater Observatory's encrusted pylons with their array of waving coral, sponges, starfish, and other sea life the while the coastal paintings are inspired by my travels up and down the West Australian coast. Also my frequent walks along Perth's many beautiful beaches are always an inspiration.
I often use a colour called ‘Aqua Green Light’, and I love that this is both the name of a tube of paint but also an evocation of the world of water.
