Artwork Description

Taking vintage black and white photos from the 1930s to 1960s and trying to bring them up into this decade is my current body of work. This one had a special experiment. Instead of just painting the sand, I went down to our local beach, scooped up some of the real stuff, washed it and then applied it judiciously to the prepainted canvas. Yes there's even a bit on her lollipop! Sprayed lightly with varnish. Edges painted white.

Artist Statement
After painting as a full time artist for the past 15 years, I've decided to just leave some previous works available here as prints only. No originals. It is unfortunately no longer financially viable to try and sell original work on this site when my returns after two recent increases in commission from BT, increases in shipping, material costs etc mean my actual proceeds from a sale are quite small. Thanks to my collectors and followers these past years. I wish you all the very best.
