My Boys by the Sea is an original painting by Australian Artist Rachel Rae.

Two brothers stand side by side at their favourtie spot in Kingscliff, gazing out at the rolling waves. The older brother’s hand rests gently on the younger’s elbow, a gesture of quiet reassurance amidst the dynamic energy of the scene. The brushstrokes are vibrant and painterly, capturing the movement and power of the ocean with lively swirls and dashes. Yet, the steadfast rocks offer a counterpoint, their solid presence grounding the composition and symbolizing the stability and support that binds the siblings. This sense of stability is further underscored by the knowledge that they are the sons of a very loving mother, whose nurturing spirit echoes in the protective, unwavering bond between the brothers. As they look towards the horizon, their eyes reflect a shared sense of hope and dreams for the future, with the vast, open sea symbolizing the boundless possibilities that lie ahead.

This original painting by Rachel Rae is painted in acrylic with a protective varnish on a deep stretched canvas, framed in Tasmanian Oak it is ready to hang.
