‘Standing until it Clears’

Oil on stretched linen canvas, 33.3 x 28.1 x 3.2cm, framed, 2026

This piece sits in the space where land, water and sky overlap - not fully settled, not in a hurry to resolve. The shoreline is loosely defined, with bands of muted blue, green and sand tones moving horizontally across the surface. Brushstrokes remain visible, giving the painting a sense of movement without pulling focus.

There’s a softness to the light here, as if the weather is shifting but hasn’t decided what it’s doing yet. Nothing is fixed; everything is held in balance. The sea comes in gently, the land recedes, and the sky stays open and calm.

In a home, Between Tides works as a steadying presence. It suits quieter rooms - bedrooms, studies, or a space where you pause - offering a visual reminder to slow your breathing and let your eye move across the surface without expectation. It’s a painting that doesn’t ask much of you, but gives a sense of space in return.
