Catch the Breeze uses the oil paint to good effect in creating the sea spray as the waves hit the shore line of the east coast of Scotland. The painting focuses on a small sailing boat as it makes its way out from the Firth of Forth. I admire a lot of Scottish artists who paint seascapes and was trying to do the scene justice.
I often do landscape oil paintings but on this occasion I felt like doing a few seascapes, the chance to try and catch the water and light playing through the clouds was what I enjoy most about oil painting seascapes.
The scene looks from Fife to Lothian near Edinburgh and in the far distance you can see the Pentland Hills. I needed to work fast on this occasion and produced several oil paintings in an afternoon. This is the first to dry and so its the first I was able to scan and put up online.
More seascapes will be added as the site begins to take shape.
This artwork may be made available as a print shortly as it is one of the most commented on seascapes from my artwork gallery.

I'm painting an idea not an ideal. Basically I'm trying to paint a structured oil painting full of controlled, and therefore potent, emotion."
