Summer Needles on the isle of Wight by Veronica Grimm


A punishing walk up the hill from Freshwater Bay gives you a stunning view over the Needles.
I set up on the cliff edge just out of view of other walkers and hunched down.
A fierce wind gusted by and little clouds blew by at speed.
I painted quickly using a palette knife, layering the paint thickly.
My seascapes are supposed to be a glimpse at what I see at that moment, there is no great urgency to be photorealistic, a more impressionistic approach is applied or I would just be there for hours/days freezing my butt off.
Like most of my seascapes this one has sold.
