Explosion of Breakers - In Progress - July 2013

Comments

This is the last of the three paintings I started on holiday last week in the east coast of England near Whitby; it is based on a photograph I took of dramatic seas that very windy July evening, with spectacular collisions between incoming and reflected waves off Hartlepool headland, caught in the beautiful evening sunlight, breaking through clouds. Some way to go yet, but what do you think of it so far? Love and God bless 🙂❤️🙏🕊🌊🌊

The composition is perfect Andrew. That wave really draws the viewer’s eye into the water. The monochrome effect has also worked very well. God Bless 🌈🌈🌈🌞🌞🌞

Lovely as it is...maybe a touch of contrast carefully placed to lead the eye around the painting?

Stunning artwork, Andy. The colours reflect the power and danger in the sea when it's like this. I can hear the roar of the wind and smell the ozone in this painting. Absolutely mesmerising. 🤗♥️🌹xxx

I've been touched and amazed at the lovely feedback on this half-finished painting, which I confess, because life keeps getting in the way, I haven't finished yet, but it's been a joy to read all your lovely feedback, my friends. Much appreaciated! Love and God bless xxx

About the Artist

Andrew Smith

I’ve always loved water, its movement, its colour, its power. I had the privilege of working as a hydrologist for nine years before ordination, necessarily but enjoyably observing the movement of water in full flow or even in floods. That was thirty years ago but my love for moving water has not…
