The artist writes: ‘This painting marks the beginning of a series of larger works which use bright priming colours and layers of scumbled paint to capture the island’s unique light and a sense of depth and space. The flat pools of water, rocky outcrops and stretches of sand and sky in this part of Jersey’s East coast are wonderful to paint and in this picture I have used an iridescent Opera Rose priming layer to give the stillness a contrasting vitality.’
