'The Old Brig Athena', Traeth Penrhos, Anglesey, 40x40cm oil on board (framed)

£2,350.00

Traeth Penrhos is a beautiful beach just on the other side of Ynys Llanddwyn. Although neighbouring Traeth Llanddwyn is more famous, this beach is in itself is a beauty. It is located just on the other side of Ynys Llanddwyn (to the North). My ex wife and I would often head out on this beach for our weekend morning runs. I particularly love it at low tide when it opens up into a massive expanse of sand. A fantastic place to lose yourself for a bit! 

For this particular painting, I elected to try a few new things. I wanted to paint a scene with looser brush strokes, softer edges and a bit more vibrance in the colours. It is fare to say it was a bit of an experiment and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I want the viewer to be enticed to stay in the painting with the brig in the foreground and then work into the painting, on to the woman walking the dog.

I had often been curious as to what the collection of timbers you see in the painting is (or was). As it works out, it is what is left of the 'Athena'. She was a brig which ran aground in 1852. She was sailing from Alexandria in Egypt to Liverpool in England. Fortunately all 14 of the crew were heroically rescued by local lifeboat men in very rough conditions.
