This painting captures the fleeting grace of an oyster catcher dashing along a seaweed-strewn shoreline.
The bird’s vivid orange beak and striking eyes provide a bold, warm contrast to the cool serenity of the scene behind it—a glittering expanse of sea rendered in a luminous blend of greens, lilacs, blues, and turquoise. The textured foreground, rich with yellow-greens and earthy browns of seaweed on damp sand, anchors the composition, creating a tactile sense of place. It's a moment of motion and stillness—nature’s palette caught mid-stride.
