About this artwork
Crescendo is a 30 x 40 inches (approx 76 x 101cm) oil painting on canvas. A wave at its maximum intensity, the salt water tumbles and boils, amid a raging blizzard of small droplets lit by the sun.
“This subject was inspired by a walk along the beach at Southwold, on the Suffolk coast on a bright but freezing winter morning. I don't think the colours were quite that blue but I wanted to convey the coldness as well as the movement and light of the… wave”.
These wave seascapes are an ongoing preoccupation with Christopher Witchall, “Working on the larger scale means I can open up a bit with a looser style. The flow of liquid water interpreted through the flow of liquid paint”.
The painting is sold unframed but fitted and strung making it ready to hang without framing.
Crescendo is signed by the artist on the bottom right of the painting and is also supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.

« My work is a combination of two passions - a love of traditional painting techniques and a fascination with the photographic image. »
Christopher Witchall is an artist based in the United Kingdom whose paintings have been featured in both solo and group exhibitions nationally. He describes his art as being "how the world appears" without embellishment. Witchall eschews the picturesque of the every day, the overlooked, and mundane, and searches for beauty within the most minute of details. His realistic landscapes, seascapes, as well as urban and suburban landscapes are painted using oils on canvas or synthetic board.
