Beach Rap #6
by Ronald T. Crawford Painter
Salt Spring Island artist Ron Crawford creates art with a unique combination of plaster and acrylic paint, resulting in a modern variation on the frescoes. The surfaces are carved, shaped, sanded and painted until they take on a rich, naturally eroded appearance.

"The ocean tide is like a jazz musician each time mixing and changing the forms of rock, shells and sand into another variation of the song.  I enjoy both jazz and the amazing forms of the beach. In these small works I try to capture some of its spontaneous nature and suggest the landscape I see underneath during my walks on the beach." - Ron Crawford
Plaster & Acrylic on Board 
Individual Size: 8" by 8"

Painter Ronald T. Crawford

Ronald T. Crawford’s paintings reflect both the theoretical and physical aspects of his life. On the one hand he has an extensive fine art education and has been exhibiting his work for over 30 years.

On the other hand, for the past 25 years he has had extensive experience working on Salt Spring Island with functional and sculptural stonework. His multifaceted paintings are the result of the blending of contemporary painting concerns with the earthy spiritualism of stone.
