Walking the Dog - painting

This original painting by Nick Kelly is simply entitled ‘Walking the Dog’ he’s tried to capture the sense of freedom and fresh air to be found on a brisk morning walk along the beach, whatever the weather!

At the very corner of south east England, Kingsgate Bay is a beautiful spot for walking. The chalk white cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop, especially here with the gap formed over millennia.

This reflective painting is typical of Nick’s work. Growing up in Whitstable he always had a fondness for the sea, developing his artistic style.

Many years were spent travelling and working in the Middle East, but in later years he settled back in Whitstable where he now paints and writes.

Nick has a particular love of figures placed in a landscape. ‘I’m interested in the relationship between humans and the environment, from the single walker enjoying peace and tranquillity to the mass of people gathering on the beach on a warm summer day.’

His work is also shown in galleries in Whitstable, Westgate and Margate.

This original painting is painted in acrylic on a 4 cm deep canvas, the work is unframed, but is ready to hang.
