Inspired by dreams of the sea during lockdown, Steve created a series of four abstract seascape paintings. Drawing from his imagination and dreaming of blue skies and blue seas, the paintings have been created in acrylic on textured canvas and board in his garden studio located in the land-locked Harrogate area.
Tapping into his inner world, Steve has produced a series of seascapes that feel as tranquil as they do atmospheric. His textural handling of paint lends itself to a more varied exploration of colour, spanning from deep blues, to soft pinks and warm ambers. His dynamic application of layering creates depth and motion, but retains a stillness that evokes a sense of calm; something we all need amongst the current chaos.
The four seascapes have now been sold and will be hung on the walls of the buyer’s new seaside holiday home. For Steve, being able to sell his work directly to his buyers with the absence of a gallery or art dealer, allows for a more personal connection between artist and those hanging his paintings.
