The North Shore

It is an old shore, this north shore. Exploring the coast on canvas, I searched out the qualities of the grasses; I asked about the shapes of the cliffs and in so doing tried to capture that elusive colour and movement of the water.

"The North Shore" (acrylic on canvas, 12" x 16")
 It is an internal conversation with unseen links and threads --  and surfaces again with a need for expression.
