(c) 3 Boys on the beach u/f

Three children stand at the water’s edge, their figures rendered in loose, warm brushwork against a tempestuous sea. The composition captures a fleeting moment of childhood exploration, with boats visible on the turbulent water beyond. Hertzog employs an expressive palette of ochres, browns and blues, layering paint to convey both the physicality of the beach and an underlying emotional warmth. The work demonstrates the artist’s commitment to capturing life’s beautiful moments through flowing, graceful mark-making.
