Artwork Description

Sitting on a cliff at Yallingup in the late afternoon-silvery dappled light on water, the sudden sheen of a fish, a sea breeze on a beautiful day. This painting is inspired by the feeling of being in nature, looking out at the magic sea.
How lucky are we?
This is a companion piece to my work 'Ningaloo' which is featured in the third image. It is also for sale on Bluethumb.
Both of the works are painted on all four sides as well as the front so no need for a frame unless you would like one.

Artist Bio

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.
