Summer swim around the rock at meadfoot beach

Early Morning Swim to Shag Rock, Meadfoot

Acryloc on wood panel 

This painting captures the stillness of dawn over Meadfoot Bay in Devon. Shag Rock, dark and rugged, anchors the composition, its form catching the first light of day in warm ochres and golds. The sea is rendered in shifting blues and silvers, the surface calm yet alive with quiet movement. A lone swimmer is suggested in a few deliberate strokes, their presence small against the vastness of rock and water.
