Before the Day Arrives - 21cm x 30cm - Framed Original Oil Painting

Painted from memory and atmosphere, this small-scale work captures a spring morning at Greens Pool, just after first light. The viewpoint looks back toward the familiar staircase from the rocks, holding that brief moment when the day hasn’t fully announced itself yet.

Rather than describing the landscape literally, the painting leans into whimsy and suggestion. Fluid brushstrokes and playful mark-making allow forms to emerge softly, guided more by feeling than precision. Colour drifts and overlaps, echoing the gentle movement of water, light, and air as the beach begins to wake.

Framed in warm golden sandalwood, the work balances delicacy with presence. It invites slow looking—less about recognising a place, and more about remembering what it feels like to be there, alone, early, and unhurried.
