Braving the chill

Early May in one of Sydney’s ocean pools - the sea is still warm but the air is chilled, getting in is a little more challenging.

This picture is part of the ‘In the shallows’ series of impasto oil paintings inspired by Sydney’s many ocean rock pools. Paint has been generously applied using a palette knife rather than a brush, giving texture and depth. Close up textures are abstract colours, resolving in clarity as you step back to take in the whole painting.

Oil on canvas, 41cm x 41cm, price includes framing in white wood.
