This painting is by an artist who is based in Southern California on the San Diego coast. Though her comments (below) could be spoken by an artist on the Fife coast, would Scotland’s seas ever be depicted in a painting like “Incoming Tides”?

Sherry Krulle-Beaton: “I have always lived within a relatively short distance from the sea. What captivates me as an artist is the sea presents me with all the examples and principles of design. At the same time doing so with a mood changing spectrum such as crashing of thunderous waves to the soft roll of sand pebbles rushing back toward the sea. Living in a coastal community has made me more aware of how the ebb and flow, motion and moods of the ocean can influence my art.”
