When a wave encounters a cliff face or steeply sloped beach, the resulting impact causes it to bounce back (as light reflects off a mirror) and reverses its direction. The outgoing wave, known as backwash, often slams head on into the incoming breakier, warping bizarre mutations in thewave face and flingingsheets skyward. This oil painting is done on plywood board (48cm by 61cm) and the reference photograph was taken by Steve Hawk. Painting was done sometime in January 2006.
