Original acrylic on cotton canvas mounted on wood panel · Custom white painted wood float frame · 2025
There is a moment when light touches the cliffs, just before the tide turns and everything glows gold.
Light Touches the Cliffs is a painting born from a single, fleeting instant - the precise moment when low Atlantic light breaks across the fractured face of the Bude Formation and the ancient rock suddenly blazes. At ///device.showering.store on the North Cornwall coast, this is what happens just before the tide turns. Burnt orange and deep ochre ignite against Atlantic blue. The dark lines of fault and joint crack across the surface like a map of deep time. Below, the folded strata curve and flow, some say 300 million years of compression made luminous by a single shaft of light.
This is not a painting of a view. It is a painting of a moment -one that lasts seconds and has been waiting 300 million years to happen.
