This is Isla, a contemplative figure, enveloped in a soothing palette of warm pinks and deep blues. The subject's expression invites reflection, evoking a sense of quiet introspection. Surrounding her, sailing boats drift across the background, hinting at thoughts that swirl just out of reach.

The gentle brushwork captures the essence of a moment suspended in time, reminiscent of coastal walks where the mind wanders freely. Each color choice resonates with a nostalgic warmth, echoing the beauty found in everyday life.

This piece embodies a balance of emotion and imagination, making it a thoughtful addition to any space, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on their own moments of contemplation.

This painting was created from my imagination but inspired by photographs of swimmers in days gone by and people I see by the Marina in Brightlingsea.

This painting is on paper and is in a white vinyl frame ready to hang.
