Abstract Yacht Paintings - the Process

Artists work in different ways, I've never conformed to any way of working, I really have learnt and grown as I have evolved as an artist, just following my own instincts and going with the flow of what I love to paint, when I want to paint and my style has evolved........one thing I have always done is to paint sketches in pencil and watercolour for any commissions that I do, here are 2 examples of sketches and final paintings that I did of 2 racing yacht paintings:

Yachts Yachts and more Yachts

Something I have a passion for is the sea, sailing and yachts! Although I have only been out sailing a handful of times I consider myself lucky to have experienced the thrill of riding the waves, enjoying the thrill of being on the sea, being part of a crew (I am no expert by any means), I just know what I love and love the sea - I have had this passion since I was a little girl, maybe its got something to do with having a Father who was in the Navy in his younger years and having most of the walls in our family house filled with paintings of yachts and sea vessels in various forms - whatever happened I have been deeply influenced and these are one of my favourite subjects to paint - I really am there when I paint these beauties!

Some recent completed commissions, a mixture of 10x14" and 16x12" canvases:

New Abstracts

Some of my new abstracts that I've been working on......................and my inspiration behind the paintings..just click on the images to be taken directly to my website with full artwork details.
'Matador' 36x24" large canvas art

Using vibrant reds inspired by Spanish tradition, shimmering gold and smatterings of black producing a dramatic piece; the passion of the Matador.

'Bolero' 36x24" large canvas art

Inspired by Spanish tradition and hugely influenced by the flow and passion of dance, vibrant reds, golds and black make up this striking abstract.

'Seahorse' 100cm x 50cm large canvas art

A gentle abstract seascape painting depicting swirls of turquoise blue, sandy browns and crisp white; the seahorse.


'Ice Blue' 36x24" large canvas art

The observer can almost feel the cool from this painting; cool tones of turquoise, flowing gold and snowy icy crisp white.
