My painting called Stormy Water is acrylic on canvas. It is a very textured painting with coffee grounds mixed into some of the paint, particularly in the foreground. There is a hint of hills on the horizon line but they have been lost to clouds, mist, water and waves.

The canvas itself was salvaged, destined for the landfill, until I saw an opportunity where another artist had given up on their work. I also really liked the idea of turning something once considered rubbish into a work of art with lots of texture colour and energy. I had also recently seen a series about the work of Turner, which give me inspiration to paint large waves in the foreground.
