Thinking about the patterns left by wind and water on the sand, how it forms ripples and carves hills and troughs - the traces left behind.

So many of my reference photos have dogs walking through, sometimes Lu sometimes randoms... I think she shows the scale rather well in this one though. The pattern has formed by dry sand catching on the textures made by the sea as it is blown across the beach. This photo was taken in Jersey where the large and rapid tides make large shapes. By contrast the photo below is much smaller in scale.

  1. Oh, my! These two pieces are so simple and so elegant and I know your artist eyes were working to get just the right placement and be able to make it seem as if it was just a bit of beach flotsam landing that way = so hard to do and you did it. Love the curving pieces that really bring it all together with a light hand. Gorgeous!

  4. Hi Rhonda, thank you so much! I'm so glad that you can 'read' my intention. I had wondered if I was trying to combine too much and confusing things. Thank you.

    Thank you Maywyn and best wishes.

    Thank you Laura. I feel like lots of things are evolving for me at the moment- good word.
