Oil on canvas, 30 x 24" Broad, reflected beach. The figures are an integral part of the landscape. Q&A with the Artist What is this work about? Is it a depiction of a specific place?  People on the beach and their reflections in the wet sand.  I think they make an interesting abstract and colourful pattern. It was painted on Saltburn beach at low tide. Where did you create it—on site or in the studio? How long did it take?  Painted, en plein-air, on the beach at Saltburn. It took about two hours.  I had to hurry because the tide was coming in. Does the finished piece reflect your original vision?  Never does. Were there any challenges along the way?  Just curious and nosy people.  Also, the cliff lift wasn't working so I had to haul all my stuff up the hill when I was finished painting. What motivates you to paint and create images like this?  The money. Thanks Malcolm! https://www.artfinder.com/artist/malcolm-ludvigsen

Acrylic on gesso board, 6 x 6" Beautiful, cool colors and reflections Q&A with the Artist What is this work about? Is it a depiction of a specific place?  This is a painting from one of our favorite anchorages in the Canadian Gulf Islands, Montague Harbour, on Galiano Island. Where did you create it—on site or in the studio? How long did it take?  Almost every summer we head out on our sailboat for a month or more. I am always taking loads of photos to bring back with me and paint in my studio. I find myself so distracted while out cruising that trying to do a plein air painting is just an exercise in frustration. I love to do smaller paintings because I am able to create something beautiful to share in just one day. What motivates you to paint and create images like this?  I love trying to capture the beauty that I am surrounded by and share that with other people. If my paintings bring a smile to your face, I’ve accomplished what I set out to do. Thanks Shari! https...

A rocky stage for a windswept sea and sky Q&A with the Artist What is this work about? Is it a depiction of a specific place?   It's almost always about light, rather than about the landscape/subject itself.  Here, it was about the particular colour of evening light as it fell on the various surfaces. Where did you create it — on location or in the studio? How long did it take? I made it in the studio, it will have taken around 3 hours.  I try to paint quickly to keep things fresh and dynamic, without overworking things. Does the finished piece reflect your original vision? I don't really start with an original vision, other than the objective visual truth, so I just aim for that and see what happens! I'm pleased with it though as it landed on the right colours and pleasing marks without having to labour and refine things for hours.  Sometimes a quick brushmark lands just right and does something visually interesting. I try to let those things happen, and that's ...
