Sovereign Shingle

Posted by Phil Hawker on Tuesday, May 31, 2016, In : Pictures and Paintings

Ribbons and Ripples

Posted by Julia Hawker on Tuesday, May 31, 2016, In : Pictures and Paintings

I've been inspired by the restless sea and how it affects the homes so close to its edge yet not the creatures beneath the waves. On land, there is turmoil while under the surface of the water, the creatures seem to be unaffected. Add a dash (or lots!) of colour and you have the result - Ribbons and Ripples. I really hope you like it! You can see it here
