Drifting
.Oil on stretched canvas, framed black timber shadow frame. 106x106cm
Looking back to shore, calmly 'drifting' in the warm glassy sea
'Drifting' evokes a sense of serene tranquility and quiet vastness.
The cool, muted blues of the water dominate the canvas, creating a feeling of calm and stillness. The gentle, undulating strokes suggest a subtle movement, like a soft breeze rippling across the surface, yet there's an underlying peaceful stability.
The distant treeline, a dark green fringe against the pale sky, adds a touch of mystery and the promise of a far-off place. It's a horizon that invites contemplation, a place to rest your eyes and let your mind wander.
The overall effect is ethereal and dreamlike. It's a scene that feels both familiar and slightly otherworldly, like a memory half-forgotten or a place visited in a dream. There's a sense of solitude and quietude, a moment captured in time.
