Blustery, wind-swept grass
leaves dancing, everlast
Trees bowing, branches creep
dusty vision that I keep
Waves lapping, rocks abound
seagulls dipping, all around

Windy Dunes - watercolour in Moleskine Folio 12" x 8" - Maree©
Many a times I’ve sat on the dunes at Zinkwazi and reveled in the sight of the wind whipping the dune grasses into a frenzy, as if to align the landscape with the stormy seas, with white horses dancing in the distance and waves crashing furiously onto the beach as they’re driven onto the coast by the wind. I’m not normally a wind person, but at the coast it seems to have a purpose and doesn’t leave dust in your hair or dry out your skin.
The rich colours are beautiful Maree... I have notice such a change in your work over the last few months..... definitely a more richer, bolder and confident approach to your paintings...... love this one!!!
ReplyDeleteAaah, thanks a lot for that Debbie! I've noticed it as well, when looking back at older works, and want to go back and brighten them up a bit! But it's good to have a record of one's progress, not so! Thanks for popping in!
