Landscape of France, Atlantic coast.
In this painting, I have given the sky a dominant role, lingering on the subtle nuances of blue and gray, exploring how the clouds appear to be in motion, swept away by a wind that one can almost feel. The diffuse light emanating from the sky questions the hidden source behind the clouds, evoking a shy sun struggling to make its way. The gaze then dwells on the sea, with the movement of its waves captured at the moment they come to caress the shore. The rocks in the background, placed like sentinels at the edge of the sea, assert their permanence against the shifting sea and sky. Finally, the shore: an expanse of wet sand where the foam comes to die at our feet. With this large scale piece, my wish was to convey the feeling of standing on the shore, enveloped by the vast sky and the majesty of the ocean.
This painting is painted with professional grade oil colors on a primed canvas. I prepare myself my canvases to create a texture specific to my painting needs and to insure them maximum longevity.
The white finish of the sides of the canvas allows, if you wish, a hanging without a frame.
