Love seagulls, sand and sea…..put them all in Ireland and I’m in heaven :o) This is a wonderful painting…I love how different it is…..the sand is just heavenly…I can feel it between my toes. Fantastic work gal xx
Avril Brand replied
Thanks Saleire – I like to use granular paste and sometimes even real sand on paintings for texture. I always walk barefoot – hate shoes – the best feeling in the world is sand or mud squishing between my toes.

Beautiful! You have nicely expressed the mood of the landscape/seascape. I always wonder, what it is, that connects the viewer to artist/location through his expression.
