Oil PaintDescription
'Surfers, Woolacombe Dunes' was painted from Marine Drive at Woolacombe Bay, above the dunes that lead down to the beach. It was painted on the spot in one sitting with oils on a 16 x 12 inch stretched canvas. This painting is framed with a white, wood frame approx. 2'' width. Catching a light shift like this and looking straight into the glare from the sea creates quite a few challenges. The sun was high and it was late in the afternoon. The light was dazzling on the waves and the surfers became little more than silhouettes trudging up the hot, deep sand of the dunes. On the horizon to the left I could just about make out the island of Lundy through the summer haze.Try it!
