Wilma Southan

Most days in all sorts of weather I walk along the South Coast
beach at Manyana past the rock pools. Depending on the tide if it
is low it is possible to sit in the pools of warm water amongst the
seaweed, crabs and small fish schools. Walking around and over
the rocks there is a world of coloured sea life to discover as the
waves fill the crevices with water.
Colour always plays a huge part in my work, in this painting the
pools at the seaside are my inspiration.
