New Seascape Series for Sea and Slate Gallery, Llangrannog

Was delighted to be asked for a new series of seascapes by the gorgeous, bijou Sea and Slate Gallery in Llangrannog. I spend hours sketching, painting and making notes on the coast of West Wales, particularly my favourite stretch of coastline in Ceredigion where I spend lots of time. I take the sketches and memories and either having started ‘en plein air’ or in the studio, I see where the painting takes me. I’m not seeking a photorealistic representation but letting the painting develop as the layers of paint flow and spatter onto the canvas. My work for Sea & Slate is small in scale due to the tiny (but beautiful) nature of the gallery but I am working on larger scale seascapes too.
