Revisiting oil paint.

In 2024 I spent 8 months in the Stables studio space at The Farm in Margaret River.  My sole aim was to begin painting again after a hiatus of almost a decade. I chose quick tactile accessible materials and worked from my collection of sea wrack studies and photographs that I have been collating since 2022. 

The language of the weather and daily observations are recorded on the works, details such as swell size, swell direction and/or lessons.
