Whitby Harbour Bridge - Early Morning (48 x 40in)
Oil on canvas 48 x 40in. I was inspired by the atmospheric scene surrounding this historic harbour and bridge. The light was difficult to capture, turning to almost pure white in places, and a limited palette was essential to show this to its best advantage. I resisted the temptation to start dotting boats here and there, deciding to keep the water uncluttered, it just didn't need them. This is the canvas size that I am currently working on, it gives me more freedom to express myself but does demand quite a bit of work and time on each piece.
