THE BEACHES COLLECTION
I had a vision of painting by the sea and preferably in a hot climate, so what better than my second home in Timpi Russi Sicily, I challenged myself in creating 60 paintings in 6 weeks whilst on holiday so I did, and the outcome was very interesting especially painting in 40 degrease heat and the mosquitos driving me insane.
I was inspired by the nature and the beautiful views from my villa which overlooks the Mediterranean sea, I went to a lot of local beaches to get sand some really small pebbles and seaweed, to combine them with my paint.
When you put them all together they surprisingly work, they make the paintings come alive and most importantly they have a part of Sicily inbeded in them, I am looking forward to see what they look like once they have been resined.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did painting them.
