A solitary woman finds her perfect refuge in the shallow ocean bath, leaning back on her hands in complete surrender to the afternoon warmth. Her gaze follows the horizon line where sky meets sea, embodying the profound relaxation that comes with claiming a moment of pure solitude in the bright clarity of mid-afternoon.
Painted from behind the figure, the composition uses the structured elements of the ocean bath—handrails and depth markers—to frame this intimate scene of repose. The palette of sapphire blue and opal creates crystalline brightness, punctuated by turquoise accents that capture the pristine quality of filtered seawater. The overall effect is one of luminous calm, where artificial structure harmonizes perfectly with natural tranquility.

"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.
