Family swim – Wild swim
Original painting
Image size: H 70cm x W9 0cm –
The whole family is out in the water together, enjoying the water and sunshine. I enjoy catching these scenes of people enjoying the sea-side in Cornwall. They have a sense of well-being and evoke great, happy memories of carefree holidays. The originals of these are generally painted in oils on canvas. You can also commission your own painting and the artist can depict your own family in the painting, capturing that special moment. Contact deborah@wychwoodart.com or call 07799 525 765.

Gordon Hunt paints beautiful, colourful and relaxing paintings. “I paint the light effects of sunshine on water, with sparkling reflections and silhouettes, resulting in strong contrasting colours and dynamic shapes,” he explains. “I have a real sense of ‘painting the light’ when creating these works, evoking the feeling of sunshine, holidays and well being, which I think is why they are so popular.” “The camera is my sketchbook, I carry it at all times, ready to capture a moment, a ray of light, a sparkle of water. Back in the studio I sketch out the composition in my sketchbook, it has brown paper pages, so as well as the shapes drawn with a black pencil, I also use a white pencil to indicate the white, bright areas of the painting.”

I also like the modern clean look of box canvas on the wall.” To discuss any of Gordon Hunt's works or to discuss a commission please email deborah@wychwoodart.com or call 07799 535765 / 01869 338155.
