Ostsee / Tranderup / Ærø

This captivating watercolor painting beautifully captures the drama of a coastal scene. The foreground features smooth, rounded stones and a gentle foamy sea lapping against the shore. Vibrant hues of turquoise and teal flow seamlessly into the deeper blues, reflecting the dynamic interplay between water and sky. The shoreline, characterized by earthy oranges and browns, contrasts with the dark, moody clouds gathering overhead. This artwork conveys a sense of tranquility mixed with the raw power of nature, making it a perfect addition to any space that seeks to inspire reflection and calm.

This painting is ideal for enhancing living spaces such as a seaside cottage, a serene bedroom, or a cozy reading nook. It can also serve as a stunning focal point in hallways or entryways, inviting guests to appreciate the serene beauty of coastal landscapes. Consider pairing it with natural wooden frames or minimalist decor to highlight its vibrant colors.

This painting was created in October on a rainy, windy day on the beach on the Danish island of Ærø in the Baltic Sea. A dark rain cloud was approaching and a few drops reached the watercolor. The high humidity allowed me to paint in an exciting way, as it favored soft color transitions. The dark, blue-grey sky dominates the upper part of the picture. The sea and beach are indicated in light ochre, gray and blue-green. In the center is a large boulder, characteristic of this beach. I used 300gr laid paper as a painting surface. The watercolor is fixed on a grey passe-partout cardboard measuring 60x80 cm. My signature is on the front.
