Lelant Sea Movement 

John Miller's "Lelant Sea Movement" is an oil painting. The texture of the paint is important to its appearance. The artist uses visible brushstrokes to convey the movement of the water and the ruggedness of the rocks. This isn’t sleek, mass-produced perfection, but a handmade and individualistic creation. The thickness and viscosity of the oil paint, combined with Miller's application technique, create a tactile surface that draws you in, inviting you to contemplate the labor that has gone into its creation. It makes visible the human effort needed to bring the landscape into being on canvas. With its emphasis on the material presence of paint and process, this piece challenges traditional distinctions between fine art and craft.
