Salty Seaweed Underfoot, oil on canvas framed. 73 x 53 x 3.5 cm

Description

“Salty Seaweed Underfoot” is a painting inspired by the Cornish coast. During a weekend break in Cornwall we took a beautiful rainy walk that led us across beaches and headlands, which inspired this piece. The beach was flooded, forcing us to take off our shoes and wade through salty water and seaweed, hence the title. I applied the paint in thick layers, using expressive mark-making and texture to evoke the sensation of the beach beneath my toes. The painting is framed in a wooden frame and is ready to hang.
