Researching other artists and the transformation brief
Sandpipers, Alnmouth, 1933, by Winifred Nicholson was the image of birds I was trying to remember during the webinar today @Chris Rowley and @Dan McDermott There is something about how such simple lines and shapes suggest the movement of birds flying. I'd muddled it with the two images other below by Wilhemina Barns-Graham that I find fascinating especially regarding the shifting lines of the sand and waves on the beach. JUST 8 LINES!...
