Have you ever noticed the color of the shadows in white sand? It is a vibrant cerulean blue, particularly in winter when the sun remains closer to the horizon. In the evening, it is paired with the warm colors of the setting sun.

This painting celebrates the colors in the sand, the stillness of the clouds, the endless sea and the invitation to relax and enjoy the peace we can so easily access while on the shore.

To further communicate the serenity of the shore, the composition was carefully laid out. The horizon is at the center of the canvas. The center of the clouds is the same distance from the horizon as the point where the sand meets the sea. The use of symmetry aids in the calming effect my paintings have on the viewer.
