Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

A garden with deckchairs offered respite from University lectures where the body and mind could restore the batteries and it was here that the inspiration for this painting was born. My latest series of paintings focus on relaxation at the beach or in other locations where restoring the batteries is key. Generally my aim is to create visual respite from some of the intense traumas in the world - a safe space to breathe and just feel happy. Naturally artistic elements play a huge part in creating an art work - light and shade, composition, texture, balance along with story telling . The canvas is stretched on strong timber.
