Sea Watching

POA
On a still day in June, I gazed across the ocean, watching windrows; accumulations of floating objects, such as loose vegetation or bubbles of foam

Tintagel's Haven
30 x 30 cm
Acrylic and mixed media on panel
POA
Ii painted this from a fleeting memory of this cove where the waves crashed, the sea was turquoise, and everything seems perfect.
Except that if you look deeper you will find ghost nets and plastic endangering marine life.

But in my real world
You can bet we're going to loose

*Flounderling
Acrylic on wood panel, framed
30 x 30 cm
*Flounderling was exhibited at the 160th Society of Women Artists Exhibition (2021)
The name "Flounderling" combines the word "flounder," a type of fish, with the verb "to flounder," which means to struggle. This name encapsulates the dual themes of the painting: the depiction of a fish navigating its environment and the broader metaphor of struggle.
In the context of the painting, "Flounderling" reflects the tension between the fish's graceful movement and the underlying struggle caused by ocean pollution. The fish, while vibrant and alive, represents the delicate balance and challenges faced in a polluted environment. The name also suggests something small, perhaps a young or vulnerable creature, emphasizing the fragility of life in a compromised ecosystem.

Just Bathe
Acrylic on wood panel, framed
30 x 30 cm
"Bathe" captures the serene and immersive experience of being by the sea, where the gentle rhythm of the waves meets the soul. Painted intuitively, the piece reflects the tranquility and renewal felt in the presence of the ocean. Soothing colours evoke the warmth of sunlight on skin and the cool embrace of the sea. This artwork is a visual expression of the peace, freedom, and connection one feels when surrounded by the vastness of the ocean.
