February Snow, Lulworth Covesigned & dated 2009
title inscribed verso
Notes from the artist:
'There were no tourists on the day I saw Lulworth Cove under snow. The cove is a classic geomorphological feature that derives directly from natural marine erosion on rocks of unequal resistance. I have included the ghost of a paddle steamer from a 19th Century postcard in this scene to give a sense of seasons past. Throughout most of Dorset massive bands of rock have been heaved up into a near vertical orientation by unimaginable forces within the earth. Pictured here is the intrinsically beautiful Lulworth Crumple'
