Stunning seascape inspired by a blustery day on the coast near Redcar, Teesside — painted live as my wildcard entry on Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2017. The composition captures the raw energy of the shore: wind-swept dunes that ripple with movement and a restless sea under a wide, changing sky.

Warm golden shades of orange and yellow lift the scene, contrasting with cool coastal tones to evoke both the chill of the wind and the morning glow. Perfect for anyone drawn to dynamic coastal landscapes and the lived-in beauty of Britain’s shoreline.
