About the artwork

This coastal landscape shows a wide sandy path between two dunes, opening onto a quiet sea. On the right of the canvas is a lighthouse with a low, adjacent building, surrounded by grasses and marram plants. The horizon is distant and the sky is filled with clouds hanging low above the water. The dunes on either side give a sense of shelter, while the open space to the sea invites one to look further out. The lighthouse stands firm and visible, with its distinctive top as a sign of orientation and presence.

The colour palette consists of shades of grey, soft blue, light green, sand colour, off-white and soft sea green. The sky and sea gradually blend together. The grass has green undertones and an almost faded texture. The lighthouse and cottage are painted in shades of grey with accents in darker blue and black.

The style of this work is a mixture of watercolour and pencil-like textures. Transparent layers have been used, creating a light, diffused atmosphere. The brushwork is loose and open, with soft transitions and few sharp lines, giving it a fluid feel.

This work is suitable for the wall as it exudes tranquillity and space. The combination of direction, openness and shelter makes the sculpture inviting and calm. It is a work that depicts stillness without emptiness, and direction without movement. It would look good in a bedroom, reading corner or place where concentration and relaxation come together.
