This was one of the pieces I did for the Cobnor Writers Retreat (pics to come), which was part of my theme of the sea, and the flora and fauna within. This particular painting was inspired by a small illustration I had done a few weeks previously. It is based (as with so many of my sea themed paintings) on the macro and microscopic marine creatures of the deep sea, and the iridescent colours they produce, and the strange and undulating shapes they have.

Some recent pieces created for the Writers Retreat taking place this weekend. For some reason, none of my shots of recent paintings are coming out very well. Don’t know if it’s the bad light, or what…heyho.

Against the Tide She’s against the tide, against the tide again, wondering which way to turn. Rolling waves crash against unsteady legs, but still she stands. Pebbles protrude from the sand, obstacles in her wake, but still she walks. Caustic spray leaps at her eyes, but still she sees. Lingering, gnarly tentacles grasp and cajole, dragging her in and under. Kelpish tendrils entangle her, dragging her down. Through hazy waters colour and texture starts to become lucid; Cerulean to azure, turquoise to ultra marine and down, down, into the blue. Enraptured by bubbles, ripples, ridges and grooves, She lets them swarm around her, hooking her towards a vibrant depth. By Katy Lassetter www.chichestercopywriter.co.uk This beautiful poem was written especially for me by Katy for my exhibition entitled ‘Against the Tide’ at the Oxmarket Centre of Arts from June 13th to the 25th.

Created specifically for ‘Against the Tide‘ at the Oxmarket Centre of Arts (June 13th to 25th) in Chichester. Acrylic on 10×10 deep edged canvas. Very nearly a ‘fail’ and abandoned, but I managed to pull it back. The segments were quite hard work. Bleding with acrylic paint on the canvas is quite tricky, much easier on water colour paper (natrually) or with oil paints. Quite happy with it in the end.
