North Coast - Rain Coming In
46 x 61cm oil on stretched canvas £745
RESERVED; call for first refusal

"I can’t believe it - not another Cornish summer where it never stops raining! And yet there is something uniquely majestic about the Cornwall coastline in the wind and rain, whatever time of year. It’s almost as though the ancient land cries out for the elements to complete its particular form of magic.

"For me, there is no experience quite so purgatively transforming as walking the cliff paths in a force 10, rain lashing against my stinging face, squinting at the foaming sea below, trying to make myself as transparent as possible, so everything passes through me with a quiet whisper: “The land, the elements and I are all one.”

"This show in some way depicts that rawness of Cornwall, and therefore that side of my own nature. I hope the paintings touch a chord somewhere within you - and also by the time you see them - it’s stopped bloody raining!"
