Held by the Horizon

Held by the Horizon is a bespoke piece crafted with a thoughtful blend of phthalocyanine blue, titanium white, cadmium red, dark sienna, and payne’s grey. The vibrancy of the paint, combined with layered gold foil reflections beneath textured surfaces, brings both energy and a gentle relaxation to the composition. This artwork captures the calming yet powerful essence of the South Devon coast, reflecting the unique character of the region. 
 
The chemical symbol for Gold is Au because it comes from aurum, the old Latin word for gold. This Latin word translates to "shining dawn" or "glow of the sunrise", matching the bright and warm colour. The layers of gold foil just above the underpainting in this seascape capture this warmth and glow of the sunrise.
