'Longshore'

My memory of this view is crystal clear. It was a magnificent spot at the tail end of a kayaking odyssey into unfamiliar waters, far beyond the comfortable bounds of familiarity. Lost in the motion of paddling, the sound of the water against the hull, and the spectacular views ahead, thoughts of time and distance fell by the wayside. I simply leaned back, savoured the solitude and the feeling of being at one with the moment. Just me, the lake and one long, uninterrupted gorgeous view. I was guided home by the currents that afternoon, with surprisingly little effort on my part. The lakes looking after me, as they always do.

'Longshore' is a wide landscape from 'Lakelands', a collection of paintings that speaks to my deep-rooted connection with the great outdoors. Each brushstroke evokes memories of countless lakes, winding rivers, and unforgettable camping adventures that have inspired me. With 'Longshore' I aim to capture the essence of a thousand shimmering lakes, their glassy surfaces reflecting the skies overhead and the allure of untouched forest.

Long horizontal art prints like 'Longshore' look fantastic in a hallway, over a console table or over a bed to create a focal point, elongating the space, adding visual interest and complementing the furniture below. Although the original painting has sold you can achieve the same artistic effect in your own home, right up to full size!
