'Turquoise water and sparkles - come on in the waters lovely' is an original painting by Gordon Hunt. It shows an image of a couple swimming in the beautiful clear, sparkling turquoise sea in St. Ives, Cornwall. They encourage their friends to join them..... Gordon Hunt paints beautiful, colourful and relaxing paintings. Gordon works from his home studio in Fowey, Cornwall. “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.” Gordon welcomes ideas for a commissioned painting, your favourite people, your favourite coastline, your favourite colours - A painting especially for you.

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.
