This digital artwork shows a serene and almost minimalist rendering of the Baie de Somme, a coastal landscape in France known for its natural beauty. The composition is built in horizontal colour planes: a clear blue sky with three soft, white stacked clouds floating in the upper half; below that, a dark, green strip representing the forest edge or salt marshes; then a wide, beige sandy plain; and finally, a calm, blue water surface in the foreground.
On the sandy plain is a flock of sheep, recognisable by their white and grey bodies with dark heads. They are scattered in loose groups, some grazing, others resting. Despite the simplified, almost stylised drawing style, there is enough detail to recognise the animals as sheep. The herd appears to be close to the water, possibly during low tide, when the vast sandbanks are released.
The artist uses a bright colour palette and clean shapes, making the atmosphere feel peaceful and timeless. The clouds, symmetrically scattered across the sky, enhance the sense of balance. The horizontal lines - from sky to forest, sand and water - create a soothing layering in the image.
The work does not seem to strive for photographic precision so much as a poetic and simplified impression. It captures the essence of Baie de Somme: vastness, silence and the harmony between land, animals and sky. The digital style emphasises the clarity of the moment, as if the viewer is experiencing one hushed summer day, along with the grazing sheep on the coast.
