Portheras (2023) Sarah Macdonald

Description

Inspired by the challenge of finding painting inspiration on brilliantly sunny days, this painting vividly captures the play of light and shadow at Portheras Beach. The 'thin' layers of oil paint, resembling the delicate sands and bright atmosphere, stand in striking contrast to the 'fat' and bold strokes that define the formidable rocks and their deep shadows. The initial rigid shapes of black paint evolved into dynamic, energetic forms with the addition of charcoal, infusing a rich, matte black texture. Ultimately, this painting transcends its technical exploration to convey the inherent energies that shape the meeting of land and sea, symbolizing the eternal dance between contrasting forces in nature.
