High Tide…..I love high tides, full of energy, exciting, challenging.

Years ago….early days of being an art student, living in a small old terraced two up, two down, on the edge of fields of cabbages, and strawberries. On the eve of my birthday, we drove south, a friend and me…….to sit on a pebble beach, at high tide. The full moon creating a pathway across the dark singing sea. I have loved the high tide ever since.

At Caswell Bay, with sea level rising…….. the highest tides of the month are always exciting, the surf rolls in and smashes against the sea defenses, bouncing back into oncoming waves, they together dance, and it is beautiful…..

I painted this a couple of years ago to celebrate life…a larger oil…..I plan to do more.
