Wave Break. Caloundra. Qld

This peice is painted on stretched canvas in oils. I used big brushes and different size palette knives. I love the power of the sea and when i saw the waves breaking onto the rocks and the huge water bursts i had to get it down onto canvas. The energetic brush work and swipes of the palette knife make this seascape come to life. You can almost hear the sounds of the crashing waves onto the rocks. This would need a frame although you could hang it without one.
