Quiet waters, Burning Gold.

Quiet Waters, Burning Gold – Stillness Collection

Quiet Waters, Burning Gold captures the luminous contrast between land and sea in a moment of complete calm. In the foreground, richly textured earth is alive with abundant gorse in full golden bloom — thick, expressive layers of paint creating a radiant bank of gold that glows against the cooler tones beyond.

The sea lies still and expansive, rendered in tranquil blues, soft purples and gentle whites. Distant islands rest quietly along the horizon, their silhouettes dissolving into atmosphere and light.

This piece balances energy and serenity — the wild, tactile abundance of the gorse set against the meditative stillness of open water. A contemporary coastal oil painting from the Stillness Collection, celebrating warmth, space and the quiet power of nature.
