Land Form 026

Land Form is a series of paintings capturing the balance between land and sky, solid and air and this piece celebrates the geometry and geography of Cellardyke, my old home town, in the East Neuk of Fife. Wild salted seas, shifting light scuffing across boulders and sea defences, the linear forms of harbour walls.  

Each painting in this series is drawn from memory, emerging on the canvas without preparatory sketches. Working intuitively, the composition is built using layers of acrylic paint and oil stick, creating a sense of fleeting movement and unpredictable skies. Bold negative space depicts elements of architecture and built environment, gently interrupting the composition and creating an unexpected sense of space and calm.

Painted in acrylics and oil on canvas board, signed on reverse, and float-mounted in a solid wood frame with a saw-tooth hanging hook.
