Ssshhhhhh....









Ssshhhhhhh.... acrylic on canvas 40x50cm ©2012 Lisa Le Quelenec 
 

There have been a lot of non arty things happening over the last week but inbetween I have been managing to snatch back some time to work on this canvas.  My aim in this piece was to try and capture the sound of lazy waves as that roll on up the sand shushing like a lullaby. Walking along the waters edge, listening to the sea always puts me in a mellow, medative mood, I find the sound very comforting. This is an unusual format for me, it's been interesting to deviate from my usual squares.

This format highlights the immensity of the sea.

Hi Lydie, it's interesting that you see it that way. I think I paint it square or portrait because I'm always thinking of the depth. You given me something to think about there...

You make me long even more for the sea, Lisa.

I love the soothing quality you portray.

Lovely painting Lisa, the colours are beautiful, it is very soft looking with the sky and sea colours. The big wave is beautifully painted.

I LOVE this painting. you've captured such a peaceful moment, I'd love to stare at this all day. It's extremely meditative.

Hi Zoe, thank you. If the sea is calling then maybe you need a trip? The pull of a tide can be strong :o) have I persuaded you yet?

Hi Caroline, thanks. I love your last seascape, I saw the post on a phone so will be revisiting it now I'm back at a computer.

Thank you so much Sarah. You have made my day - that's the feeling/reaction I am aiming for.
