Sea Pink Steps, Combesgate Beach – Original Painting

Stepping lightly down to the little bench that looks over the beach.

Sea pinks festoon the grassy tufts overhanging the sea cliff tops.

No wind early this morning, perfect conditions to capture the essence of a calm Spring morning next to the sea.

Moments of tranquility like these are jewels in time to be relished and savoured but never owned.

Fleeting moments. Surely enough as the hour touched ten, the cool Northerly awoke and sent a shiver slicing through the warmth.

A hasty retreat was beat back to the studio to finish like a jeweller, details and a coffee with the warm sunlight streaming through the art studio window.
