Morning Swell

The painting captures a peaceful early winter morning at the shore. A soft wave gently rolls towards the beach, its water a soothing mix of deep blues and subtle greys. The sky above is adorned with clouds, softly tinted in pastel shades of pink and lavender, reflecting the early light of dawn. The coolness of the morning is subtly suggested through the color palette, with the winter atmosphere bringing a crispness to the scene. The overall mood is one of calm and quiet reflection, with the gentle colors and serene setting inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness.

Ann enjoys creating seascapes using both acrylic paints and pastels. Her dynamic colours capture the essence of summer and a joyful memory of a time and place. Ann is inspired by the ever changing ocean and has great passion capturing the form and beauty of large dynamic waves. Light plays an important part of her painting process, capturing the early morning hues of yellow, orange and gold as the sun glints through the tips of the scrub and that time on the beach when the day is starting to cool.

Ann has been sharing her knowledge by teaching art both locally, interstate and internationally. Ann encourages people to paint in their own style and to view images and translate it to their artwork in their own special way. Ann believes art should be a heart lifting experience full of freedom, exploration and joy.

Ann is represented by a number of West Australian galleries and on Bluethumb.
