This painting shows the view from the foot of the cliffs below the Halzephron Inn across Mounts Bay towards Cudden point, Prussia Cove and Penzance beyond..
With this painting I guess I rebelled against the standard seascape with bright saturated colours, sparkling water and breaking waves on a diagonal dappled with sunlight.
Instead I used a limited palette to evoke an eerie half light or twilight as the sun breaks through gaps in the heavy cloud cover. The whole scene is bathed in a diffused warm light adding to the otherworldly feel.
Some of the my favourite pieces of music use minor keys,subtle arrangements and have really beautiful harmonies, I have attempted to replicate this recipe in my painting composition, sometimes less is more.
