'Shimmering shores' is an original oil painting on canvas portraying a view out to a calm sea from the beach. The scene conveys a feeling of serenity with its fresh colours and quiet details. Textures in the sand and waves in the sea are portrayed with thick paint applied spontaneously with a palette knife. Iridescent paint has been used on the shore to translate the reflections from the sky on the wet sand, this paint shines and has subtle changes of colour in the light.
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 ”
