I am delighted to donate this beautiful piece to an epic fundraiser happening this Saturday!
This piece is a response to an exquisite moment at Smith’s Beach, captured by talented Southwest photographer, Phil Hollett. I used handmade oils for this piece, and a lot of it! Superior in their quality with vivid pigments and no artificial binders or fillers, they are only the best for the best subjects. Applied with brush, fingers and palette knife I paint in a lively fashion, stepping back and working from a distance to kept it painterly and expressive.
Raw and beautiful, Smiths Beach is fiercely protected by those who value its vista as well as the ecosystems that are under threat by develop proposals. Whether you surf its waves, hike its paths, sit on its sand or walk its shore, it is a beloved spot deserving of respect. I hoped to capture the moment of time; of movement, of the majesty of the created, going about its daily rhythms undeterred by the plans of man. May it forever be respected.
