Dunes, Joaquina, June

*



Dunes, Joaquina, June 2020, oil on card, 28 x 26 cm   AVAILABLE





The light was unusually and deliciously silvery for a few hours, and the landscape took on a dreamlike quality. Wind.

I seemed to work efficiently and everything just fell into place like jigsaw puzzle pieces suddenly do  after a frustrating search for their partners.

A few hours later there was a terrible wind which left me feeling much out of sorts, appallingly alone and full of unhappiness.

The painting was a rapid success. I suppose I carry within me the memory of different landscapes and the lessons from many paintings and at some moments these lessons yield their fruit. Or perhaps the unusual light lent a different urgency to my work and I couldn`t involve myself with psychological perambulations that sometimes slow my creative decision-making.
