'PUMPING UP’ is painted using oil and acrylic on canvas. It is a large painting on an artist’s high quality Windsor and Newton stretcher which is warp resistant.
 
The painting is made using large brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas.
 
These paintings are quite personal to me as they are made from scenes on the local beach where I live and hang out with my children in the summer. It’s a pebbly beach, wide and open, a mecca for kite surfers on windy days, of which we have lots, but on other times when the tide is low a haven for families with kids and paddle boards. The water is never warm but it’s a great place to hang out.
