Original painting in oil on cradled wooden panel.
Where Calm Begins explores the quiet moment when the horizon invites us to slow down and reconnect with ourselves. Layers of soft cerulean, turquoise and violet-blue are balanced with delicate blush pinks, pale lavender and subtle touches of warm cream, suggesting the gentle light of dawn or dusk reflected across still water. Working with oil and cold wax, I have built the surface through successive layers, creating a rich texture that catches the light and echoes the quiet rhythm of the sea.
The sweeping horizontal bands encourage the eye to drift gently across the painting, offering a sense of spaciousness and ease. Rather than depicting a specific place, the work reflects an emotional landscape—one where the horizon becomes an anchor and where feelings of calm, balance and quiet joy begin to emerge.
This is available in either a white or sage green tray frame, the choice is yours. The white frame enhances its lightness and sense of openness, while the sage green frame echoes the natural colours within the painting, lending it a more grounded, organic presence. Or you can purchase it unframed.
UV varnished.
