The Sea Washes Over

Original artwork by Carolyn J Roberts

An intimate original capturing the ever-changing rhythm of the Cornish coast

Cornwall, land of the elements: the sea, at times crashing and destructive; at others, gently lapping, washing sand and rocks, carrying their stories out to sea. Every wave leaves its trace, a whisper of movement and memory, fleeting but insistent.

This intimate mixed media piece captures the contrast between force and calm along the Cornish coast. Layered washes, textured marks, and expressive strokes echo the rhythm of water meeting land, the push and pull of tide and wind, and the subtle patterns left behind in sand and stone.

Though modest in scale, the work invites careful attention and quiet contemplation. Designed to be lived with, it holds a fragment of coastal drama in miniature — a small, considered original that brings the presence of the sea into the home.
