Untalkative, Out of Reach
Untalkative, Out of Reach, oil on canvas, 76cm x 101cm
I was inspired to paint this scene after a visit to Cayton Bay on
the East Yorkshire Coast on a sunny January day. I was walking along the beach
with my daughter and her friend taking a video of the sea washing up against
the shore when the friend stepped in front of me. The sun created a huge shadow
of her figure which intrigued me and I kept filming. I have painted the above
image at the moment she stops and looks ahead to the view before her of the
vast sea and Scarborough in the distance. I wanted to catch that fleeting
moment.
The solitary figure gazes into the horizon. What are her thoughts? The image creates an air of mystery.
I also made pencil sketches of the stunning scenery:
