Showbiz in the night
Fleeting, transient moments witnessed on Dungeness beach. Resonating with the public to an extent that a painting is commissioned from a memory, a need.
This
motif - Showbiz in the night has struck a chord to such an extent with those that have seen the various drawings, printed or painted versions over the years that I am frequently asked to produce further developed works.
As Dungeness beach loses its working aspect either through the vagaries of the weather or because of erasure due to redevelopment I am moved to re-explore the beach in a painted form, as I first encountered and understood it.
Oil, pigments in dispersion on linen - Large feature paintings on deep stretchers
