Besides Spring Tide, there are these two I really like. They hang side by side and yet are so different.

Beside it, some spray: Foam and Blue Sky - gusts of seawater and salt in one's face. So much movement, close up and immediate, maybe even more so since the wave next to seemed fixed in eternity.

The scan's a bit poor - but that's as good as it's gonna get at 1 am ... enjoy nonetheless and good night...

You should create a tag for the Joan Eardley posts you've done, as I enjoy seeing what you post on her. Of course, that would be with all your spare time!
Thanks for taking the extra effort to post these!
Good idea, Casey - I did a link with a search function but that's not quite the same. Plan for the weekend :)
Lovely post. I love her work too because of your introduction. I sent you an email but since I have not heard back I wondered if it got filtered out. So glad you like your piece and that it arrived in good shape. Thanks for asking! You were the only one. I love the Brommer book very much and wondered what other books you are using to inspire you with your lovely collage work.
These are wonderful :D I've really enjoyed these posts so thanks again :)
Thanks for showing these. I never knew she existed, but will be looking at her work more in the future. How does she manage to be figurative and abstract at the same time! What a talent she has.
Hi Lindsay... sorry, yes - I did reply now... am a bit slow at the moment... shocked still by being back at work ;)
I still find there is so much more to say about Eardley, so there'll be probably more about her popping up here and there... But in the meantime I have created a tag for her, and if I get round to it, add something to the sidebar...
I too got through to Edinburgh at the weekend, Gesa, just in time to see the Eardley exhibition. Fantastic getting to see many paintings I hadn't seen before. I've done my own tribute to her in my own blog if you are interested.
