A Quiet Cove

Oil Painting 11x14” - 2020

This painting depicts a calm ocean coastline with turquoise water and a blue cloudy sky.

After burning out on creating drawings for Inktober 2019 this painting was my way of getting my creativity flowing after a long hiatus.

I’ve always found painting landscapes to be a meditative practice. For me they are much less stressful to plan and create compared to my pop-art surrealist works.

In this work I was exploring a new technique of painting foliage which you can see come up again in my later works.
