Edward Hopper, the American artist, spent a lot of his life on the West Coast of the United States especially around Cape Cod. I get the image of Cape Cod with beautiful coast lines, expensive properties white sun hats, crisp linen pants, grassy dunes & white wine Spritzer’s. This beach is inspiring.
However I grew up in Nth QLD and had family holidays at Kurramine beach. I have very lovely memories of playing card games with Nana, drag netting for bait with Pop and my Mum.
I remember the smell of the canvas awning outside the caravan and how your skin feels after spending the day swimming in the ocean with your little sister.
This piece comes from the “Ocean Range”, it’s called “Sunsets in the West” and reminds me of my times spent in Perth, where the sun actually sets over the ocean.
(Something quite odd for those of us living on the West Coast) The piece is made of Shell and Glass and is finished with a chain and large parrot clasp.
$45.00 (o-nec-015)
