Blown Away



Many of my paintings in the September exhibition at Beauly Gallery are mixed media with a theme of wild weather.

I build up a surface using a mix of materials, sand, scraps of maps, bits of scrim, corrugated cardboard, all bound together with PVA and/or gesso. Then paint is applied, usually acrylic to start with and sometimes continuing with oil.

This painting, Windswept Shore, creates a feeling of being caught in a huge gust of wind, the kind where you have to shut your eyes to keep out airborne objects.
