Surf VI is inspired by the South Devon Coastline. I admire those who take on giant waves there. For inspiration I take photos and videos of waves and sketch on the beach. Then take these back to the studio to work on the final painting.

This is a very textured painting. The thick paint layers are applied with a pallet knife. Whilst the thinner layers are applied using various sizes of brushes to enable a translucent finish. The light coming through the waves and also the ever-changing colour of the sea is what I am keen to explore.

Downpour at Crooklets Beach Bude is inspired by the beach at just north of Bude, North Cornwall. Starting the painting on the beach with acrylic paints the rain started half way through the painting. Undeterred I carried on painting until the the downpour started to wash away some of the paint, I stopped and headed for cover. The next morning I hired a beach hut for the day and continued to paint looking out towards the rolling waves. I kept the sky which had some of the paint washed away by the rain, as it gave an abstract, in the moment feel to this painting,  adding some layers of texture and glazes to enrich the surface. This painting has lots of texture with abstract brushstrokes and pallet knife work in the waves and on the beach.

Caleta Bochuda is a very small beach near the village of Las Arenas in Tenerife, known for its scenic significance. Situated on the Av. Punta Los Surcos, in the general area of Las Arenas, within the municipality of Fasnia, on the eastern/southeastern coast of Tenerife. It is a small cove or “caleta” with a cliff and sandy beach setting. It is a natural spot, likely a pebble/sand beach, rather than a developed resort area. The turquoise waves were crashing onto the black rocks with pale sand surrounding them that blustery day. The contrast between the turquoise waves and black rocks I found was particularly beautiful. The water lapping onto the wet rocks reflecting the sky was giving the shallow water a purple and deep blue hue.

Turquoise Ocean Waves III is inspired by the beautiful beaches of Cornwall. .This painting looks at these waves which are caused by wind and tides, that make the surface of the ocean rise and fall. When wind creates waves in deep water, they appear as large swells that look like rolling hills. As the swells reach shallow areas, they catch on the bottom and slow down, causing the water to pile up and form waves. 

For my work I like to use oil paint. This medium is very versatile allowing you to add thick impasto layers or more fluid translucent ones. As a result this medium is very useful when you want to capture ocean waves in all their forms and variety of colours.

Commissions are welcome.
