Created at Topsham, Devon, this painting is all about capturing the movement on a windy autumn day. The tidal river is flowing out to sea, the clouds are racing across the sky, and the reeds are waving in the wind.
This painting as as much about taking paint off as putting it on. The paint for the reeds, ripples in the water, and the clouds have all been carefully moved, pushed, wiped and pulled to reveal the lighter canvas underneath, bringing the sharp light and movement into the scene. It is my personal favourite painting, and to me it is the height of my skills as a painter.
This oil on 3mm canvas panel painting measures 50x25cm and is unframed.
