Shifting sands at the water's edge on a quiet Cornish beach when the tide is out. Always mesmerising - timeless and yet constantly changing. There's a sense of calm and of just being in the moment.
There is something very calming and peaceful about this painting which was inspired by spring walks at the Cornish coast. The greens bring a freshness to it. I always love watching how the light reflects off the wet sand at low tide, even on a cloudy day.
The light on the wet sand at low tide is particularly magical in early spring. There's a sense of new beginnings and possibilities. The traces of pink hint at brighter times ahead.
I love the contrast between the deep Prussian blue of the Atlantic against the reflections on the wet sand as the sun catches on it. The roar of the surf against the calm of the beach is also very evocative
