I chose to use the funding by Arts Council England and Thelma Hulbert Gallery to develop a response to a poem Jeremy Hooker wrote in 2015. He took as a starting point a specific painting of mine, but his words touched into the fundamentals of my practice. WITH RED EARTH UNDER MY NAILS is the third from The Viriditas Press…
Swimming at Worbarrow Bay ...admiring the wonderful curve towards Flowers Barrow from the water...and suddenly the scent of gorse floats over across the water...just for a moment. The painting is packed with the wonderful palette of pigments that are accessible along that bay.
Made on location on a bright morning...fresh breeze...energetic sea. Watercolour on watercolour board. The cost of postage is not included in this price.
