This abstract landscape artwork is on a gessoed panel measuring 298 mm by 298mm.
 
I entitled it “Home” because it inspired by the view from Langdon Hill in Dorset where I grew up and the view towards Lyme Regis.
 
It was created using a layering process which gives the artwork a visual depth. By using multiple layers of paint each sealed with medium a rich experience is created for the viewer. Light travels through each thin layer and then bounces back, rather like light shining through a stained-glass window. The colour assumes a richness created by the thin, glossy surface that seals each layer of paint.
 
The fluidity of the sea water contrasts beautifully with the deep purple of the hillside which has a stunning visual texture. 
 
In the distance a subtle sea mist hovers over the water’s edge.
 
The painting is cradled in a white bespoke frame 322 mm by 322mm.
