This Painting Entitled "Turbulent Sea Scene" is in oil on canvas and was created in the 1980s.
The artist was in the process of completing a scene when he was inspired by the very rough sea where he was located. as he did not have another canvas available, he decided to paint the turbulent sea on the back of the canvas that he was working. hence the reverse shows the painting he had abandoned.
Gordon Cockburn's talent in the visual arts has been commented upon since his early childhood years having been born in 1944. he was brought up in a poor family that was unable to support any education in art and therefore he had to travel and work in a variety of settings whilst continuing to pursue his calling in art. He hails from a proud mining ancestry and his strong sense of identity, family, community, passions and emotions are evidenced in watercolours, ink drawings, pastels and oils. gordon is well travelled, including Amsterdam, Venice, Paris, France, Turkey, Greece and Poland. These travels have influenced his work which can be seen in galleries and exhibitions worldwide.
