To the sea

This painting has been sold
Acrylic and pencil on hardboard 8" x 8"
I have been interested lately in looking again at the work of Richard Garrison who combines an interest in the human figure with a concern for geometric shape and form. You can probably see his influence here in this painting of the girl running to the sea. Although I wanted it to have a fairly abstract feel I also wanted to retain that fresh air, beach breezy environment.

Thanks for pointing me at this painter. I like his work a great deal, but had never heard of him previously.
Hi Sheila,
I've haven't been "blog hopping" in a while, so have missed seeing your work. I LOVE the direction your work is going; these new acrylic pieces are fascinating and beautiful, symbolic and thoughtful. I can't wait to see what's next!
Hello Harry, yes, I really rate Richard Garrison. Can't remember now where I first saw the link but I intend to keep an eye on his work from now on.
Hi Karen, thanks so much for your kind comments!
Wow, this is amazing!!!!
P.S. Thanks for the link. I didn't know his work, just looked at the site. Love the cannonball figure one, and the coffee cups series is awesome. Reminds me just a bit of Euan Uglow.
Love the painting! Your work is moving in a direction that grabs my attention more and more as I'm sure for others.
Thanks Jala - glad you like Richard Garrison. His work has so much integrity for me.
Thanks for your encouraging words Susan.
a wonderful piece Sheila: the geometric shapes seem to add to the mystery of the girl and her running away. r
Hi Sheila. Another brilliant figure
and colour. This young lady is
certainly running towards that water. Well done Sheila.
Vic.
Sheila, I don't know where you pull these images from, but they are all hauntingly beautiful. I love them.
Rahina, thanks again. She's actually running joyfully towards the sea but I can see how you read it as her running away - maybe because she is not dressed in her swim suit!
thank you Vic - glad you like it.
Jennifer, some of the images come out of my head but this one is based on a photograph of my grand-daughter. We were all on the beach and she had said she was not interested in going in the water, when suddenly she snatched off her shoes and socks and just ran! It was a lovely moment.
Hi Sheila,
This painting just showed up on my facebook network. One very active artist is always looking at art work and posts profusely everyday what she finds and sees; I love that she does this!
Hence, I have discovered your artwork today and I am going to ad your blog here to my followed blogs list. I want to keep watching what you are doing as, your work has an immediate appreciation from me!
I also want to pass on a website for an important new film on women in the arts: http://www.whodoesshethinksheis.net/
I am also a painter and my art blog is here: http://kerriebwrye.blogspot.com

Kerrie, thanks for your encouraging words. I shall enjoy looking at the web site, I'm sure.
