Down to a Sunless Sea

An original acrylic painting by Tony Broadbent. Please note the size of this piece of work - it is 5 feet wide x 4 feet deep on a 3 inch box canvas. It is a Sunset over a turbulent Sea. Inspired by the poem Kubla Khan. The whole painting is covered in deep, tangible, impasto rich, pure acrylic paint straight from the tube - placed, painted and arranged in thick swaithes, dabs, marks, grooves over and over again layering and forming the substrate and background. The paint is placed on in such a way that the image is seen complete with all the interference and substance/substrate interacting and can be appreciated. A semi- impressionist painting. It is a tangible and significant piece of work - I have some final touch's to do to complete it and it is still drying, however the work is complete enough to display - enquiries are welcome. Thank you Tony Broadbent
