Waves of Sunset by Wendy McLennan-Wiggin and Paul Stretton-Stephens

This vibrant fusion hybrid seascape captures the raw beauty and energy of a coastal scene through the intricate layering of fabrics and a masterful application of digital enhancements. Each element has been thoughtfully crafted using a tactile selection of textiles, creating an immersive representation of the natural landscape. The sun-kissed horizon glows in hues of amber and gold, gently transitioning into a lush expanse of green that evokes the feeling of distant cliffs or rolling hills.

The dynamic middle section of the composition features layers of frothy, white-capped waves crashing against the deep blue waters. The fabrics’ texture mimics the natural flow and movement of the ocean, with digital enhancements adding shimmering highlights that reflect light as if captured in the very moment of a wave's crest. The blue tones, rich and immersive, create a sense of depth and motion, pulling the viewer into the rhythmic dance of the sea.

Beneath the vibrant waters, the sandy shoreline is hinted at through soft, rippling fabrics that suggest the reflective qualities of wet sand. The bespoke palette used in the digital enhancements further elevates the artwork, accentuating the contrasts between the calm, reflective waters and the energetic waves, as well as the warm tones of the sun setting in the background.

This artwork is a powerful tribute to the untamed beauty of the sea and coastline, perfect for collectors who are drawn to nature’s elemental force captured in contemporary art. The fusion of tactile fabrics with digital techniques brings this seascape to life, making it an ideal piece for those seeking a dynamic, yet serene, expression of nature’s grandeur.
