Rhythms and Sparks coastal painting on paper And yet when we go

And yet when we go to the sea it's always familiar

Where the sea meets the edge of the land is one of those places that is always changing

the feeling of freedom and aliveness transmitted to us as we stand below and look up

fragments come together and move apart with the shifting tide

powerful and gentle - it's around 60-70% of what we are

Rhythms and Sparks coastal painting on paper And yet when we goThe title comes from one of my own poems, and suits the lively energy of this little painting, with its 'sparks' of silver leaf and the repeating rhythm of the shapes. It feels like it's dancing, following its own tune and finding joy in making up the steps a good reminder for life! I see this brightening up a kitchen corner, or somewhere you'll see it often for a little energy boost. Painting size: 30 x 30 cm 12 x 12 in Mixed media on wood panel
