Coastal Path

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very atmospheric and expressive landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

It is a dynamic, abstracted landscape that captures the essence of walking along a windswept shoreline trail. It blends expressive brushwork, shifting textures, and a vivid, elemental palette to evoke both the physical and emotional experience of the coastline.

Pink dashes and shapes dance across the centre, adding rhythm and possibly indicating human presence, wildflowers, or directional markers on a path. The brushwork is loose, textural, and emotionally charged, capturing fleeting impressions over literal depiction.]

Overall, the painting conveys solitude, discovery, and elemental energy. It’s less about representing a specific location and more about evoking the feeling of being immersed in nature—the wind on your face, the shifting weather, the wide horizon ahead. It celebrates the freedom and introspection of walking the edge between land and sea.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 65.5 x 65.5 cm (including frame)
