Turquoise duet, susie david

My work is primarily about water, and this oil painting is about the sea and the sky singing to each other and their rhyme, being in this instance, the colour turquoise. There is a flow across the canvas of veils of transparent white, which suggest a sudden summer rainfall or a rush of a wave into a secluded rocky inlet. There is a subtle yet important flash of turquoise along the lower edge which resonates with the pool of turquoise in the higher right hand quadrant. The generous size of the canvas enables the imagination to wander around the different tracts of the piece and the minutiae of goings-on, which are subtly complex yet lightly handled. This is a seascape but not in the conventional sense.

dream of sea, susie david

This is a small, intimate painting - oil on panel. The painting is a study of water. Delicate dove-grey fluid tracts run across the surface breaking through under layers of paler grey, almost white beneath the surface. A few jewel-like flashes of pale turquoise are visible. The edges of the painting are left raw to accentuate the spontaneous process and material nature of the painting. Framed in a glazed, lime-washed solid wood, box frame by The Chocolate Factory, London. Signed on front.

wave, susie david

Working spontaneously with a 'wu-wei' and a water mindset. This painting evokes sea, evokes wave.

Ebb tide, susie david

All my paintings are informed by water and this one by water navigating matter. Delicate veils of paint encounter impasto in a great flow of energy, as if referencing sea encountering rock. An elemental yet dynamic piece.

These are poetic studies of water essence. Oil on panel. They are intimate in size - not much larger than a paper-back book so you have to get up close. And they are intimate in nature - not only do they lightly infer water in the landscape but also water reflecting our human nature. Although they do not shy away from the dark, they use it as a powerful ground to focus on the light, and specifically a term from the classic Japanese school of painting called 'flying white', when a brush mark shows evidence of it having floated at times over the page which can allude to an aerial feeling.
