There’s a wonderful sense of wild weather in Rocky Shore.

Janet Gammans captures the meeting of sea and land with expressive layers of soft grey, blue and flashes of turquoise. Waves tumble over the dark rocks, breaking into foaming white water before washing across the sandy shore.

Above, a sweeping stormy sky gives the painting its wonderfully atmospheric mood, while touches of brighter colour in the water draw your eye towards the horizon. Textured, expressive and full of movement, it has that unmistakable feeling of standing beside the sea just as the weather begins to turn.

An original painting with plenty of presence.
