I miss the ocean
My most recent series is called I miss the ocean. It consists off four images that I feel when I view the ocean. The ocean, to me, is beautiful but at the same time powerful and mysterious.
The paintings have been completed during the Covid-19 lockdown. In South Africa we have had a very strict lockdown, the first six weeks we were not allowed to exercise or walk dogs outside of our homes. We were only allowed to go to the shop’s to get essential goods which were also severely restricted in terms of what we were allowed to purchase.
My family enjoy going for a drive over Chapman’s Peak and having a picnic on it. It is a beautiful mountain pass that towers above the Cape Peninsula ocean between Noordhoek beach and Hout Bay. The view is spectacular and I can never get enough of it. It is so magnificent and from that high up you can really appreciate the strength, age and majesty of the ocean.
During lockdown we are not allowed to go there and this inspired me to create the series and invoke that feeling I get when up on Chapman’s Peak.
I miss the ocean is in oil paints on canvas and is designed as a set to be mounted as depicted.
