Pebble Creek

This painting presents a vibrant, immersive surface of richly blended oil colours, forming a field of smooth, rounded shapes that read as pebbles beneath water. Each circular form is carefully modulated, with soft transitions of colour that give them a luminous, almost glowing quality.

The composition shifts subtly from darker, more saturated tones on one side to lighter, more airy hues on the other, suggesting depth and the play of light through water. Warm oranges, pinks, and deep reds sit alongside cool blues, violets, and soft pastels, creating a dynamic yet harmonious palette.

Overlaid with delicate drips and lines of pure white paint, the surface comes alive with the suggestion of ripples and movement. These marks evoke the way water distorts and interacts with the pebbles below, as if they are just breaking the surface.

The result is both abstract and evocative—a meditation on colour, light, and texture that captures the gentle, shifting beauty of pebbles seen through water.
