A landscape painting combined with marine, measuring 53 x 81 cms (21” x 32”), oils, available, £6,000. ex studio.

The painting

From an idea in part developed and sketched while visiting Bourg in the Haut Medoc district, inspired by some of the people.

My particular interest here was to play with the balance of colours, tones achieved by the powerful raw semi abstract first paint and a more complex working of detail and activity.

I have a very specific idea in mind but the painting is taking over.

The currents on the Gironde estuary are very strong so I’ll take that as an omen and go with the flow which still leaves a question.
