I painted my fireplace a while back as it was so dull! and blank..I quite like how it turned out with the wooden chair painted in JUTE paint and the coastal paintings..it now makes a nice display. Who knew turquoise could be so neutral??!!
I did find this a challenging painting..Keeping in mind the overall of grasses at the same time detail. It was a lot of back and forth...but I do feel it came out well and it is one of my favorite paintings at the moment!
I painted this wee painting quickly holding it in one hand. Trying to loosen up the brushstrokes! I think painting quickly and loosely helps describe the feeling of wind and fresh beach.
I really enjoy trying to capture patterns and movements of sea sky and sand. So endlessly beautiful and in a constant state of movement and flux. A good reminder for keeping in the flow of life!
