Breaking Waves with Acrylic and Oil Pastel on Canvas, Painting by Diane Whalley

2010

About the Item

Breaking Waves By Diane Whalley [2020] Breaking Waves is an original abstract expressionist painting by emerging contemporary artist Diane Whalley. Layers of acrylic paint create depth and show through with mark making and oil pastel detailing on canvas. Fun at the beach with breaking waves creating drama and excitement. The waves crash onto the sand with white foam and the spray catching rainbow colours from the sunlight. People run away as the waves rush towards them with a swirling of colours from their seaside attire. Reminiscent of the Cornish coastline and memories of travels by boat across the Mediterranean sea. Presented in a white wood floating tray style frame.

Her paintings are often a mix of layered muted colours with splashes of brighter shades, using abstract images and ethereal, painterly swathes resulting in fresh, light and immersive compositions. Through the layers of paint can be glimpsed images and detailing. She paints intuitively from the imagination and personal reflections. After graduating from Liverpool School of Art and Design with a BA (hons) degree Diane worked for a number of years for the media and PR agencies. It was after becoming a mum to two daughters that she returned to her love of art and design. At first she worked with textiles producing and selling quirky and colourful pictures in Warwickshire and Kent. When tragedy struck her family she was propelled onto a new path with her daughters deciding to make Cornwall her home. It was a time of reflection and learning to sail, with longs trips around the Mediterranean. This period has greatly influenced her work - full of contemplation, vibrancy, experimentation and expressionism. Diane now works from her garden studio and gallery at her home just on the outskirts of Fowey. Here she is surrounded by AONB and just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Cornish coastline, from where she draws some of her inspiration. Over the years her artworks have been exhibited in Kent, Warwickshire and Cornwall - including Cornwall Open Studios week and selected artworks for Penwith Gallery associate members summer exhibition 2018 and St.Ives Society of Artists winter exhibition 2019. Diane’s artworks can be found in private collections in Paris, Dublin, Australia, South Africa and across the UK.
