Be swept away with this series of mystical seascapes by 8footwalls aka Desmond Sweeney. This piece is the third artwork apart of a series hand painted on bamboo matchstick blinds. They evoke a sense of old skool tranquility and sea bound solitude with its subtle palette and naturalistic strokes.  

This piece 'Salt In Our Souls' depicts the beauty of Newport in the Northern beaches of NSW and its iconic deepwater reef break. With its soothing oceanic palette, 8footwalls takes you right into view of this rare gem peeling right before your eyes. Allow yourself to be transported into this seascape with no sense of time or concern. 

Newport Beach holds a special place in the artists' heart. He would wander across to the beach daily with his two girls and spend countless hours in the sand & surf to return home salty and sleepy.
