'Through the Surf'
49" x 12"
Oil on box canvas, 2011
Due to some issues with the big Friesian painting taking forever to dry between layers I have managed to get this painting finished while waiting!
When I was visiting Saltburn beach with family last April there was a young girl and her TB enjoying a good canter up and down. I was stood on the pier looking down when I took the photos that I based this painting on and thought it would suit this long thin canvas that I have had sat prepped for ages.
The edges of the box canvas are painted, I'll try and get a photo of it on the wall when the light is a bit better.
Bit hard to see such a long thin canvas on screen so here is a close up too...
Very cool, love the unique size of the painting and the lines of the waves, must be impressive at this size.
ReplyDeleteIt's a winner :O
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it. It's so rare to see something fresh and new and inspirational sometimes, but this "little" piece ticks all the boxes.
A big, big smiley here :)
Thank you both so much! I wasn't sure if I would get away with the composition but I'm glad I gave it a go as it works better than I expected!
