On the Beach

A beach scene populated by figures in leisure and activity, painted in loose, gestural brushwork. An adult reclines on the sand in vibrant purple and blue garments, whilst children in various states of play populate the composition around them. The artist has employed warm ochres and earth tones against cooler blues and purples, creating a luminous, informal quality. The work captures a moment of seaside repose through the immediacy of oil on board.
