This painting shows an empty beach where a row of simple beach cottages stretches along the edge of the sand. Between the cottages stands a single tree, loose and sturdy, as a silent counterpart to the straight lines and low silhouettes. The whole breathes peace and space, as if time stands still for a moment.
The horizon is open, the sky light and clear, with soft transitions between blue and white. No people, no footsteps - just the play of light on wood, sand and leaves. The tree forms a natural anchor point in the composition, asymmetrical but balanced, a reminder of stillness in a world that usually moves.
The painting style is realistic but slightly abstract, with attention to tone and atmosphere over detail. Emptiness gives the image breath. What is not there speaks as strongly as what is.
The work invites to look, but above all to feel. To the wind gently blowing across the sand, the crunch of wood in the sun, the rustling of leaves against the facades. It is a place of simplicity, but full of meaning - a quiet beach where everything is allowed to slow down for a moment.
