Although Jon Foreman’s beach art may lack longevity, it certainly makes up for it in its wow factor.
The artist spends up to four hours creating mesmerising patterns in the sand — some of which get exotic Latin names — using only a garden rake and a stick.
Jon, 29, says that his canvas is the shoreline at Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire. He also believes that the beauty of the experience is enhanced by the fact that his art is reclaimed by the natural world within hours of being created.
He says: ‘The fact it is short-lived actually makes it more special — like a flower that only blooms once.’
The single father of one, who is also part-time youth worker, said: “Sometimes, I know that I’m working against time to get a piece done before the tide comes in. It can be great adrenalin rush.
