Openshore - Triptych oil painting on un-bleasched antique linen

 

'Open Shore'

 

A triptych oil painting on antique linen.

 

 Dungeness beach is a marvellous landscape shaped by the near constant winds and the occasional onslaught of fearsome elements.

Endlessly inspirational, it requires no filter or exaggeration – one cannot cheat one's way to it through the use of tricky compositional techniques.

These reflected manifestations were painted with versimilitude.

 In a gale.

The wind was strong enough to flex the perspex windows of the handy little shed at Openshore creating a distortion which expressed the reflected force of the wind. 

I was intrigued and made these paintings.
