Description:
An expressionistic and visionary landscape. A coastal inlet and headland lit up in fiery explosive sparks and golden light-thickening plumes of smoke and clouds drift and darken the sky. An energetic and cataclysmic scene that suggests destruction of the old and ushering in the new with creative fire and energy.
Working from imagination and memory, the scene is conjured up with gestural brush and palette knife strokes- thinly painted areas contrasting the rough and spontaneous impasto and thickly brushed oil paint. The canvas surface is distressed in areas and in other areas smooth and translucent adding depth and drama to the painting.
