This palette knife painting, titled Coastal Serenity, captures an abstract yet evocative interpretation of a seascape under a luminous sky. The composition is divided horizontally, suggesting a horizon line that separates a dreamy sky from its shimmering reflection on the water. Thick, textured layers of paint—applied with a palette knife—create movement and depth, mimicking the natural fluidity of clouds and waves.
The color palette features soft coastal tones: shades of aqua, teal, and seafoam green blend with lavender, dusty rose, periwinkle, and touches of ochre and indigo. These hues swirl and merge, evoking the play of light on water and the atmospheric quality of a coastal scene at dawn or dusk. The moon or sun subtly peeks through the upper left, enhancing the tranquil, meditative mood.
The impasto technique gives the piece a sculptural quality, making the light dance across its surface and drawing the viewer into its serene rhythm. This painting beautifully balances abstraction with natural elements, inviting a sense of calm and quiet contemplation
