Beach abstraction


I created this beach painting on my iPad showing the waves breaking on the shore at dawn.

In order to create it I selected one of my photos that had the same basic compositional shape that I had in mind and which was made of a similar colour palette to what I wanted to create. I then transformed it by smudging, overpainting and manipulating the colours until I had created this image. I really like the organic, free textures and shapes that suggest the frothy white tops of the waves.
