Artwork Description
Winter Waves of Northumbria captures the rugged beauty of the North Sea as seen from the coastline where the artist now lives. Created in rich, layered oil pastels and sealed with varnish, the piece portrays a winter shoreline alive with movement. Rolling turquoise waves break against the cold light of the horizon, while dark birds trace soft arcs across a shifting sky of blues, violets, and muted greens.
The artist often walks along this coast during winter, finding inspiration in the wild energy and solitude of the season. This artwork reflects that intimate connection: a moment of stillness within motion, where sea, sky, and wind meet in a sweeping northern landscape.
Through its vivid textures and atmospheric colour transitions, the piece invites the viewer to feel the chill of the breeze, the sound of waves, and the quiet presence of the winter shore.
