Stormy Cornish Sea by Kit Johns
Part of Kit Johns' wooden plaque series, this 8cm x 9cm hand painted wooden tile can be used as a fridge magnet or would be equally at home in a frame. Perfectly capturing the storm, I love the deep Prussian Blue used to paint the sky. Kit is a young Cornish artist and works from his studio near The Lizard, the most southerly point in England, one of my favourite parts of the country. Fantastic!
