Tidewater - Framed

The ocean shore unfolds in soft washes of blue and sand, where gentle gradients suggest the meeting of water and land without literal detail; pale ultramarine and cerulean blend into muted beige and warm taupe, while translucent layers of white evoke sea foam and light breaking across shallow waves. Brushstrokes vary from broad, hazy swathes to delicate, feathered marks, creating depth and movement that hint at tides, wet sand, and distant horizon. The composition balances calm and motion—open, airy spaces counterpointed by textured, weathered surfaces—inviting quiet reflection and the memory of shorelines rather than a precise scene. Subtle contrasts in value and translucency give the work a contemplative impression of the coast rendered in restrained, harmonious tones.
