With Touchdown I was drawn to the green and blue paintwork of the row boat and chopstick oars pointing to the soft hazy sky. I felt lucky to capture this image as this was taken in the days of manual focus lenses. Using a smaller f-stop, I had blurred the background to place important emphasises on the seagull at the moment of touching down. In this artwork I have enjoyed painting the detail of the bird and the boat. The artwork is on stretched canvas and I have crafted a wooden cradle around the canvas and painted it a similar colour to the hull of the boat. This painting was designed to bring a sense of balance to a room with touches of pink and grey being balanced against blues and greens.
