ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
Recently I have been painting a beach series. This involves checking the daily tide times and weather. When the sun and low tide align, I rush down to Warriewood Beach to paint, en Plein air, this particular rock pool. The stillness of the rockpool allows a pause in the constant surge of the ocean.
