A Sounding of Surf — Fine Art

A Sounding of Surf shows rolling waves built from smooth colour bands and sharp edges. The water is shown in bands of blue and green, with a pale sky above. The clear shapes and flat tones sit in the wider practice of Eyvind Earle, where nature is broken into clean colour planes.

The fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. The matte paper keeps the blues and greens soft, so the flat colour bands hold their shape without glare when the light comes from the side.

The picture works on the wall beside a bathtub. From the doorway you read the coloured bands as moving water. Closer, the clean edges show how each band meets the next.
