After some researching I came across an exhibition in St Ives last year that was all about how different artists had imagined the sea over the years. It was called Aquatopia.
I then came across some paintings by an artist called Dee Ferris.
I like her work because it’s really atmospheric and the obscure blurred quality reminds me or murky waters, especially Ideal Homes (this is the beginning of forever) which to me, looks like it could be a coral reef, or more likely seaweed swaying in the water.
I wanted to create a similar effect in my work, and I think I have achieved this by accident, when I am painting with a lot or water and lines and patterns develop, but then when the work is dry they have blurred out and colour fade into one another almost effortlessly.
