Gulls on a Gilded Shore

At first light, a column of sun glides across the water and pools onto the wet sand as a small company of gulls patrols the tide line. The work balances a warm, amber sky with a cool, slate-blue sea; the elongated panorama and restrained brushwork create a quiet, collectible calm. Subtle surface texture and mirrored reflections give the scene movement without noise—inviting slow looking and lending the piece its sense of coastal permanence.
