Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look
'Eventide' portrays a rocky beach in the evening light. The sea on the horizon glows under the warm sky with reflections of the sky's colour appearing in the waves. The pebbles and sand are created using thick paint applied spontaneously with a palette knife, keeping the marks and mix of colours unpredictable as they appear on the shore. Flashes of blue can be seen in the sand suggesting where the outgoing tide has left traces of water behind. This piece is full of textures and displayed in a grey frame.
Georgie Dowling artist with Wychwood Art.
Georgie was raised near the coast in rural West Wales surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, no doubt influencing her current practice. Having moved to Cheltenham to study Fine Art she has now based herself there. Work is split between painting en plein air across the country, capturing elements of the surrounding landscape, and working in the studio.
“I work quite quickly and my marks are spontaneous and impulsive, I embrace happy accidents and enjoy the life that can be seen in a painting when the artist works instinctively. Inspiration comes to me while exploring the land and sea, sourcing colours and forms that give me a sense of place. The coastline is of particular interest to me; the continuous momentum of the sea and everchanging light is an endless source of inspiration ”
