Oil pastel studies


The light here in Cyprus is incredible and I have been looking at reflections. The above 3 pictures are of water patterns seen during a swim in the sea. These are in oil pastel, and are studies for oil paintings.

The water here really looks like this!

I am interested in how reflections give something back to the viewer, involving them in the experience, and have been collecting all things reflective as I go about my day. So far I have broken mirror tiles (which I extracted from around an unfortunate bird that had flown into the mirror), car reflectors, metal plates and coins. "One mans rubbish..." as they say...
