I finished a couple pieces and some experiments / by Guy Austin

I am proud of the nighttime high tide piece. When I do ocean stuff, I generally aim for two extremes: the ocean as a scary place — the ocean as a rejuvenating open space. A particular comment by David Hockney that he tries to "paint space…" is a thought I have been carrying around with me during this COVID-19 isolation.

Experimental seascape. Not fine art but a fun illustration. Since this will never end up in an art fair or gallery space, if you would like a print, contact me, and I will make one for you at any size under 40in in length.

This is an idea I am exploring. It gives me “ASMR” when I look at it:

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. Wikipedia

This one I did a long time ago for myself. I shared it on a social network and a painter I really like, Grey James, raved about it so i am sharing it here.

Will post more work later
