Summer on the Rocks (Framed)

I always find such a contrast in the softness of warm beach sand to the harsh sharp rocks that fringe the coastline. Exploring the rugged shoreline often means having to wear shoes for the rocky points but then they slip straight off to wander the soft sand. I hate sand in my shoes! This textured pretty seascape reminded me of many a walk where I juggled runners or thongs to explore rocky coves, inlets and headlands.  And with Summer ahead I'm looking forward to spending more time 'on the rocks'...wandering beautiful yet tempest beaches at sunset after long warm days basking under our Aussie sun.

Created with palette knives on stretched cotton canvas, this expressive artwork is finished off in a beautiful solid Tas Oak timber frame. It is satin varnished and like all my work, comes with a COA.

Thank you for taking a moment to view my work.

NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone of my work which is more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space. Thank you!
