SPELLBOUND
A new, original work of art by Johanna Wood
150cm x 60cm - medium Golden acrylic paint - completed 2026
The force of incoming tidal waves, rising high in succession, tumbling towards you on the shore.
Capturing a spellbinding, mesmerising moment in nature, a fragment of our blue planet, the vast swirling seawater catches flashes of reflected, twinkling sunlight dancing on the surface and in the sea spray, as if jewelled by trillions of diamonds.
Painted over time from endless, en plein air studies and research by Johanna, while standing on the shores of the Celtic Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

Indigo Sky - sunset over the Celtic Sea
An indigo sky at sunset over the Celtic Sea. Standing at the shoreline watching the inky tones growing deeper as the dusk sun seeps into the horizon.

Painted recently May 2026.
Finding shell’s on the beach are like finding jewell’s to me, each has a distinctive and cleverly made shape. I study them so closely and love to draw them.
This is an original art work, the shell is hand drawn with fine pen, laid onto a gold leaf circle with a black canvas background which gives an instantly chic, classical and stylish feel. This beauty will look good in a traditional or contemporary interior design scheme.
As you move around the room the canvas shimmers in different light, day to night. The gold glows sensationally and adds tasteful, gentle glamour. We can all do with some of that!

Celtic Sea Whitewater
A perfect sunny day with an effervescent, incoming tide, waves peaking and rolling over turning into whitewater. The Celtic Sea holds a mesmerising stance along the North Devon & North Cornish coast, I love to watch waves for endless time.
The composition is captured on a round canvas, I felt the curved edge reflected the repetitive shapes that waves form, as well as the feeling of peering through a porthole, so your gaze focuses within a hypnotising circumference.
Acrylic on canvas (unframed)
Round 40cm diameter
Picture wire is fitted on the back ready for hanging, I recommend the canvas would be greatly enhanced in a deep mounted, square, simple box frame. An additional price can be quoted for if it is of interest.
