gouache 2
Sea and sky at dusk reduced to bands — cloud above, a dark headland, open water, a line of surf and the wet sand below.
Six horizontal registers stacked across the full width, unequal in depth and parallel to the frame. There is no vertical anywhere and no focal point; the eye is held by the bands themselves.
Plum and mauve through the cloud with one hot seam of scarlet at its base, over a sea of cobalt and ultramarine. The wet sand below is violet and dove, with a strip of warm brown at the right.
Short horizontal strokes laid shoulder to shoulder, each a separate loaded touch, so every band is a weave rather than a flat fill. Nothing is blended and no edge is softened.
Gouache on paper. Matte and opaque, with wide unpainted margins on all four sides.
Lower right, raypatrick, in cobalt over the sand, letters touching.
