The sea, waves, water has always drawn me, nature, natural…..this is one of my many paintings of Caswell Bay, my local beach. Mostly I love it wild, the waves, the winter. This was a study of waves one dawn….the light….perhaps it is considered cliche in the contemporary art world….but I did it anyway. The tanker on the horizon is very important to the painting.

This is the pleasure of living by the sea…..

I wonder if I should paint the beauty of all the rubbish, plastics, cans, bottles, crap….food waste……..the mob who infested the beach left behind yesterday. We are all entitled to enjoy the beauty of nature….have fun in the sea…..but where is the respect…..this is not a disposable planet….and the way some people used the beach yesterday says everything about why this planet is struggling to cope with humanity.

Rant over…………
