Breakwaters – Painting

Old wooden breakwaters feature in this original painting by Liz Shedden.

A prominent aspect to the beaches of Whitstable and Tankerton they are used to shore up the shingle and conveniently provide a sheltered break from the off shore winds, proving a peaceful place to sit and contemplate.

Whitstable is a seaside town on the north coast of Kent, famous for its oysters and its oyster festival held each summer.

Being pushed in her pram along the beach listening to the tinkling sounds of the coast is one of Liz’s’ earliest memories of growing up in Whitstable by the sea.

These memories continue to be reflected in many of her calming, tranquil paintings.

Her work has evolved over the years from pictorial to a more abstract style, where inspiration is drawn and can strike anywhere from; a colour, a flower, a place to even a simple reflection within a puddle.

This work has been painted in acrylic on canvas in a dark grey painted artisan tray frame and is ready to hang.
