Shawka Shadows | oil on linen | 90cm x 60cm The late afternoon light coming through wadi Shawka always amazes me, I’ve painted here many times and always I’m entranced by the deep purples, pinks and greens in the shadows, it’s truly a beautiful part of the UAE and so close to Dubai. A world away from the city and everyday life. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #mountainpainting #rockpainting #wadishawka #wadishowka #dubaiartist #uaeartist #artdubai #pleinair #outdoorpainting #landscapeartist #sunset #oil (at Wadi Shawka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMg_zKRpksf/?igshid=taw8dfo4ong1

Last moments of daylight - oil on linen - 100cm x 100cm *Available directly from my studio* This piece is based on a combination of plein air paintings and photos I took in Wadi Shawka. I’d finished a day of painting and filming with @joehawkins_films and @symijackson and had packed up our stuff to hike out of the Wadi. As we reached a viewpoint we came across this stunning scene of light hitting the side of this rock face. We took a rest here and snapped some photos and a little more footage. This light lasted moments before turning an inky purple and forcing us to head out to the safety of the jeep but was so beautiful. Moments like this remind me why I go out and do what I do (like i need reminding). *Please drop me a message to find out more about that piece or to arrange a private viewing* #mountainpainting #oilpainting #landscapepainting #wadishawka #sunset #lowlight #nature #instaart #instaartist #pleinair #dubaiartist (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMbVo6qpV-Y/?igshid=r3htvfbvhsp8

Getting closer to the finish line on this one.
