A novel by Joanne Harris , Coastliners is providing inspiration before starting to paint in the morning..it take’s me a while to get into the zone of it all and it helps to be reading stories of the sea, particularly the atmosphere of islands off the Brittany coast as she describes.
Wales and Brittany have similarities of climate and language with the Breton connection.
Here is sea land, the start of a new work . As can be seen here, I sketch with thinnish paint and get the first layer of movement onto the canvas, then add layers afterwards to bring it together..it’ll go through many changes which is interesting to me because it reminds me of when I’m by the the atmospheric changes of the coast which occur in a short space of time..
Sealand 1

‘Island ‘ has also been developed more, but I’ll probably lighten it again..it’s gone a bit dark now..
