Sand, Sea and Spray

Sand, Sea and Spray was an art show held in Blackpool over the weekend. As I was away I have only just been able to go and snap up some of the art that has literally over night covered the ugly faces of brick walls around the town.
I was really struck by this piece as the setting and expressions held by the women have a real emotional connection to the viewer.
We see these faces in the news in the papers and usually in a setting as derelict and neglected as this one. The artist really has chosen the space well and bought out such a beautiful piece quite simply.
