              Taking the plunge
On a cool spring day in shallow crystal waters at Freshwater beach, a couple unwittingly perform a metaphor for relationships, diving head first, committing themselves together to the sea.
This picture is part of the ‘oceanside’ series of paintings. Paint has been generously applied using a palette knife rather than a brush, giving texture and depth. The colours of the waters surface dominate, the texture overtaking the image.
Oil on canvas, 77cm x 30cm
