Where the Grasses Sway, Padstow

Alcohol ink on Yupo paper

Inspired by the coastline around Padstow, this atmospheric seascape draws the eye between textured coastal grasses towards an open expanse of blue water. Layers of denim blue deepen across the sea, while a soft slate-grey sky meets the distant horizon.

Fine, flowing lines suggest the gentle movement of the tide. In the foreground, delicate, feathery markings resemble coastal grasses swaying in the sea breeze, bringing movement and texture to the shoreline. Muted earth tones add warmth, grounding the blues and creating a sense of depth.

A painting that captures the pleasure of pausing by the coast—watching the water, breathing in the sea air and finding a little stillness.
