Sun on Sea

Sun on Sea is a stunning depiction of the rugged cliffs and crashing waves between St Nons and Solva. Painted en plein air on the coastal path and completed in the studio, the scene captures the raw beauty of the coastline with dynamic energy. The powerful contrast between the foam-capped waves and the textured cliffs is brought to life through vibrant acrylics, while the use of gessoed and textured board adds depth and richness to the composition.
 
The painting’s tactile texture enhances the movement of the sea and the energy of the landscape, while the absence of glass in the white painted moulded frame allows the surface to shine through. The overall frame dimensions of 69cm x 89cm provide a striking presentation of this coastal scene, inviting the viewer to feel the rush of the sea and the crisp air of the cliffs. Sun on Sea brings together the beauty of nature and the immediacy of the artist's brushwork.
