Few elements have captured the attention of artists quite as fiercely as water. Whether for its reflective beauty or the endlessly beguiling image of the distant seaside horizon, this subject has fascinated artists for as long as they’ve been painting. Nothing quite compares to the gorgeous idyll of the bright Mediterranean sunlight reflecting on the flickering ocean in the middle of summer. Water gives us life and we are instinctively drawn to collections of it, whether in rivers, streams, ponds or ports. Most people gaze onto the ever-changing surface and feel moved or inspired. This collection of paintings shows off this subject wonderfully, whether it is harboursides, babbling brooks or the winter’s frost dancing on the surface of a stream. Whether recreating the figurative shapes of boats and canals, or using the subject as a starting point for capturing the abstract beauty of a shimmering pool, our artists create fantastic works of interest and beauty.
