Somewhere for your eyes to rest at the end of a full day.

This piece began with a view from the harbour in Funchal, Madeira. Below a soft sky, the waves were full of drama and movement. I wanted to hold both parts of that moment: the energy of the water and the openness above it.

Pale rock, turquoise, and sweeping blue create a sense of space within this small landscape. Above a shelf or beside a favourite chair, it offers a quiet opening onto the coast.

If you find yourself drawn to the horizon whenever you are near the sea, this painting brings something of that familiar feeling home.
