This painting presents a tranquil coastal landscape, suffused with light and openness. 
The composition is structured around broad horizontal bands: the pale sand in the foreground, the gently shifting blues of the sea, and the expansive sky above. The horizon is calm and level, stretching across the canvas with only a distant headland and a small, rocky outcrop breaking the line. This lends the work a quiet sense of balance and stillness. 
Closer to the viewer, the scene comes alive with loose, gestural brushstrokes suggesting beach grasses. These marks, in greys, greens, and muted violets, provide rhythm and texture, anchoring the otherwise airy composition. The grasses feel windswept and fleeting, contrasting with the smooth expanse of water and sky. 
The restrained palette—dominated by soft blues, silvers, and sandy whites—captures the clarity of coastal light. There is a subtle play between atmosphere and structure: while the space is vast and open, the brushwork is immediate and expressive, reminding us of the painter’s hand. 
Overall, the work evokes the quiet stillness of standing at the shoreline, yet it also holds within it the restless, shifting energy of the natural world. 
 
This painting is beautifully presented in a white tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
