Trigg Days

"Trigg Days" is a medium sized piece showing the glorious Trigg Beach in Perth on a hot summers day. I was having lunch with a friend on one of the hottest days in Perth, a blistering dry heat, and the only table we could get was outside in the roasting sun.
So making the best of the situation, many cold drinks were had and a beautiful photo taken of the flat, cool water.
I loved the photo for its simplicity, no waves and no crowds of people, just the simple blue of the water with the busyness of the surrounding plants contrasted against it.
This painting is on UNSTRETCHED canvas so it will need to be stretched and even framed if you like. So you will lose approximately 10cms on each side but that will wrap around the edges nicely creating a seamless edge.
Once stretched, the piece should measure approximately 27" x 39" or around 70cm x 100cm.

Hi there!
A bit about my work - I believe it leans towards expressionism and abstract art, perhaps with nods to impressionism and fauvism. A little bit modern, maybe even a little bit cartoon. I paint in multiple layers, working with brushes and palette knives, typically finishing with markers and paint pens. I enjoy working with landscapes and familiar places, trying to create a sense that you, the viewer, have been there before or are there in the moment.

A bit about me - I am a lot of things, none of them perfect! I am flawed, I am impatient but I try to be kind and make others comfortable, especially when we're most likely to be uncomfortable. I am a mother to an incredible daughter who I named after Salvador Dali (the Dali part, not the Salvador part!) and I have two sausage dogs, Mr Chips and Frankie who will often be lazing about in the sunshine in my studio. I've been drawing and painting since I was a kid - I started with drawing houses because I loved the new homes section of the weekend paper and then I switched to portraits when I was a teenager. I started delving into landscapes and abstracts around 2015/16 and have changed my style a million times since then. My hope is that my style continues to evolve and develop distinctly so that you will recognise a Kirsty Hay painting instantly.
