This painting is available exclusively at Our Gallery Milton.
Five figures drift in their own aquatic meditation, each finding their perfect depth in the underwater sanctuary. A man and woman keep their heads kissed by surface air, while nearby a man slips below into liquid embrace. Deeper still, two women have descended to their own private respite, suspended in the cathedral silence of the ocean's depths.
Bold shafts of midday sun penetrate the water, creating columns of light that dance through the liquid space. Below, a landscape of rock shelf, sandy bottom, coral, and kelp creates an enchanted seascape.
The dreamlike quality emerges from the interplay of penetrating light and relaxed floating forms, enhanced by crudely drawn fish and coral that contrast beautifully with the finely realised human figures. The palette of navy, sapphire blue, and turquoise flows through ochre and rust accents, capturing both the ocean's cool depths and the warm kiss of filtered sunlight.

"A Day at the Beach" presents a series of paintings that chronicle the shifting colours, moods, and activities that define different moments of a beach day. From the soft anticipation of dawn to the vibrant energy of midday, each painting captures a specific time and feeling—the colours and atmosphere of 6:37am will be vastly different from those at 11:42am or 2:42pm. This exhibition celebrates the full spectrum of experiences that the beach offers, honouring both the quiet contemplative moments and the joyful bursts of activity that make each visit unique.
