The moment of sheer joy when you wander through the dunes and catch first sight of the sea beyond.

The artist has signed the painting on the back with the title - both visible from the back of the frame.

North Norfolk with its big skies and undulating vistas specialises in creating wide and sinuous bands of sea and landscape.
There is a rhythmic poetry where bands of interest stretch across the land forming stripes of colour, texture and form. This striping delineates and dissects the panorama leading to an inspiration that explodes across the canvas - broad strokes of emotion and energy captured in paint.
Encaustic Art
The ancient method of encaustic art was practiced by the Greeks and Egyptians with 2000 year old examples still in existence. Wax and pigments are fused with heat which dries quickly capturing brush strokes, drips and textures. Encaustic art is an all consuming very physical practice. One is seduced by the process of not just applying paint with a brush, palette knife or hands but also the harnessing of heat to energise materials and move the liquids around. The fluidity of the process allows the materials to mix and metamorphose.
