Light Echoed

Gazing out over the restless sea towards the horizon with its dusting of magenta. Ocean light reflected in white and grey on blues, while below the surface for a moment the sea harnesses its power.
 
It is here that a sense of space envelops me. Refreshing, renewing, a place to breathe.
 
This is what inspired this latest painting. I used only my bare hands to paint this, no brushes. I finished off with a bit of white paint on a large palette knife pulled across the surface.
 
I wanted to capture the openness of space but still with that sense of movement and strength.
I find by using my hands to paint it allows me to impart this emotion to the canvas.
