Ostsee / Ærø / Oldemark

This serene watercolor painting beautifully captures a coastal scene, where soft hues of sandy yellows and lush greens blend harmoniously with cool ocean blues and grays. The gentle wash of colors conveys a tranquil atmosphere, and the delicate brushstrokes depict the sandy shore accented by patches of grass and rocks. The artist's attention to the interplay of light and water creates a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the peaceful ambiance of nature.

This painting would be a perfect addition to a coastal-themed interior, enhancing spaces such as a living room, bedroom, or office with a calming vibe. It complements natural wood finishes and light-colored furniture, and could be paired with other ocean-themed decor for a cohesive look. Its soft color palette allows for versatile placement in both modern and traditional settings, bringing a touch of tranquility and inspiration into any space.

I painted this watercolor on a cloudy, hazy day in summer on the Danish island of Ærø in the Baltic Sea. The humid air allowed for soft, flowing color transitions that give the painting an expression of transparency and delicacy. The fresh green of the vegetation glows against the warm gray of the sky. I used 300gr laid paper from Centenaire as a painting surface. The picture is fixed on a gray passe-partout cardboard measuring 60x80 cm. My signature is on the front.
