Coastal Reverie

A contemporary abstract landscape painting that presents a tranquil yet expressive interpretation of a coastal horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2004.

The painting captures the essence of a shoreline scene through abstraction, distilling it into pure colour and form. Divided into horizontal bands of colour, the composition evokes the meeting of sky, sea, and land with a minimalist, yet deeply atmospheric approach.

Rendered in an abstract style and reminiscent of Colour Field painting, the artist has used a harmonious palette of soft lavender, warm orange, muted olive, deep turquoise, and pale sky blue – imbuing the work with a soothing quality. Broad, gestural brushstrokes have been executed, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through in places, creating a sense of movement and organic imperfection. The blending of colours suggests atmospheric depth, while the bold, dark band of blue-green near the horizon anchors the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye across the expanse of land and sea.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary lavender painted wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
