*"Seedling Sanctuary"* is more than just a beach on the north Devon coast—it’s practically my back garden. Just a mile from my house, it’s where I go daily to walk the dogs, take a sea dip, or find a quiet nook in the dunes to watch the light change. This place is my refuge, a constant source of inspiration, and where I feel most connected to the rhythm of nature.
Creating this abstract seascape in acrylic flow art was my way of taking a week-long retreat, immersing myself in the creative process without distractions. On the evening that inspired this piece, the grasses were bathed in such a beautiful light that they eclipsed even the sea—a rare and breathtaking moment that I couldn’t wait to translate onto canvas.
The goal of this painting was to capture the delicate balance between life on land and the ever-changing energy of the moving water. It’s a bit like life—moments of calm intertwined with inevitable chaos. When I look at *"Seedling Sanctuary,"* I’m reminded that the energy here isn’t just about the waves and holiday surf; it’s about the quiet, enduring life that thrives at the edge of the land.
My signature on each piece is a small reminder that this was created with immense care, passion, and a growing confidence in committing paint to canvas.
With *"Seedling Sanctuary,"* I hope you feel that same sense of peace—though perhaps without the need for a wet suit. It’s a gentle nudge to slow down, to savor the little things, and to find beauty in the unexpected places—whether it’s the windswept dunes of Devon or an abstract seascape hanging in your living room.
