I am excited to share my latest piece, Insurgent Waters, which is a medium-sized original oil painting framed in a beautiful oak floating frame. This artwork is part of my “Songs Of The Sea” series and an extension of my exploration of solitary-themed paintings.

The inspiration for this piece comes from a poignant poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow titled The Tides, which opens with the lines:

“I saw the long line of the vacant shore,

The sea-weed and the shells upon the sand,

And the brown rocks left bare on every hand,

As if the ebbing tide would flow no more.

Then heard I, more distinctly than before,

The ocean breathe and its great breast expand,

And hurrying came on the defenceless land

The insurgent waters with tumultuous roar.

All thought and feeling and desire, I said,

Love, laughter, and the exultant joy of song

have ebbed from me forever! Suddenly o’er me

They swept again from their deep ocean bed,

And in a tumult of delight and strong

As youth and beautiful as youth, upbore me.”

As I immerse myself in this creative journey, I realize that I am not quite finished with my exploration of solitude, and I continue to delve into these themed works. It was only recently that I became aware of how often my art leans towards a minimalist and uncluttered aesthetic—it’s a realization that had eluded me until now. This newfound clarity is becoming increasingly apparent in my recent pieces; perhaps it’s the result of a little soul-searching and self-discovery!

In all of my works, the colour flows seamlessly around the sides, creating a sense of continuity and depth. Each painting is signed on the front with my name, “Lucinda,” and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its originality and value.

Insurgent Waters is elegantly presented, framed in a natural oak floating frame that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also makes it ready to hang in your space. My meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality are evident, from my careful selection of artist-grade materials to the thoughtful packaging that guarantees the piece arrives safely and in excellent condition.

Furthermore, for those who are interested in a personalized touch, I am always open to commissions. This unique opportunity allows collectors to own a piece of art that is tailored specifically to their preferences and space. My email facilitates direct engagement, transforming the commissioning process into a collaborative experience that makes the creation of custom artwork both accessible and enjoyable.
