Sea with Rain Approaching

Following an absence of several years Neil Robbins recently reintroduced himself to the Cornish coastline. He describes this as “a transforming moment of aliveness as I stood by the sea”. He experienced it all with a fresh vision, and has since returned many times to paint.

“I have been painting the sea and coast of Cornwall for over 20 years. Many people ask me why choose Cornwall? The appeal of the Cornish coast to me is, for some reason overwhelming, almost magical.

Over recent years, I have found a deeper peace and happiness painting this coastline. Collectors of my work have already noticed the change, becoming less abstract more studied, and quieter in tone. But I hope still mindful of the poetic, and the wonderment of an imaginative source, the sea and sky.”
