White Birds Blue Sea large seascape painting is 36x48x1,5 inches original oil painting on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame is needed, ready to hang. The painting shows two tropical white angel terns dancing around each other and flying low over a sparkling blue sea.

I am a professional artist based in Sussex and I paint large original landscape and seascape paintings in oil on canvas.

I am inspired by the patterns of nature and the energy, colours and spaces of the landscapes and animals around me. I like to think that...
