Beyond the Headland

Alcohol ink on Yupo paper (A4)
 
An atmospheric abstract landscape of rolling ochre and olive hills meeting an expanse of luminous blue water. Layers of flowing ink create the suggestion of distant paths, shadowed valleys and a shoreline catching the light, while delicate horizontal marks give movement and depth to the sea.
The landscape sits somewhere between memory and imagination — evoking the warmth, colour and expansive horizons of places beside the Mediterranean.
A celebration of the restorative quality of being near water and the sense of possibility found in looking towards a distant shore.
