Just a few experimental abstracts using some of my recent paint palettes and finally refined by using digital inversions. Colours inspired by two beaches in North Devon, Combesgate & Barricane. Al

Hercules over Saunton Sands.
Whilst walking around Croyde and Saunton searching for a little artistic inspiration I noticed fire tenders from RAF Chivenor on Saunton Beach. On enquiry I discovered that a Hercules C130J was going to practise take off and landings. After a few cups of tea and then venturing down the beach I witnessed the wonderful spectacle of a Hercules undergoing Tactical Operations. From my photographs taken that evening I’ve painted this acrylic on canvas impression. Canvas size 36 x 36″. Al
Below are a few paint palette abstracts used during the painting of this image.

A large acrylic composition 600 x 1100mm on gesso panel. A view out over Saunton Sands after lunch at the Thatch in Croyde, North Devon. Below are a few abstracts I’ve made of the card palettes used in the making of this painting. Quite a relaxing way to wind down from the main event. Al
