Summer Lease

"Summer’s lease": The Reflection of Luminous Hope

This painting is a joyful departure from the stormy drama of the other works, capturing a moment of luminous clarity and warm reflection. Titled "summer’s lease," a nod to Shakespeare's sonnet on the fleeting beauty of summer, the piece evokes a feeling of golden light, open sky, and serene, shallow water. It is a masterful study in atmosphere and the use of yellow and gold in a seascape setting.

Why This Print Belongs On Your Wall

• A Celebration of Light and Colour: The palette is dominated by warm, life-affirming yellows, rich golds, and soft ochres, blended with a cool, powder blue. These colours are highly saturated in the foreground, creating an immense sense of warmth and light being broadcast from the water's surface up into the sky.

• Reflective Serenity: The lower two-thirds of the canvas is a stunning, highly reflective surface, suggesting very calm, shallow water. The paint is applied in long, horizontal strokes, creating a visual effect of rippling light and distorted reflection, where the massive cloud above is perfectly mirrored in the water's surface.

• Atmospheric Cloud Structure: The sky is dominated by a huge, turbulent but bright cloud mass rendered in thick, expressive white impasto, contrasting with the pale blue sky above. This cloud is soft in colour but heavy in texture, providing a powerful sense of volume and presence without being menacing.

• Ideal for Uplifting Spaces: This artwork is an incredibly uplifting and expansive piece, perfectly suited for areas that need a feeling of light, hope, and spaciousness. It is an excellent fit for Coastal Modern, Scandinavian, or Transitional interiors where its warm glow and abstract serenity can bring the beauty of a golden summer day indoors.

Hang "summer’s lease" and infuse your space with a sense of luminous reflection, warm energy, and the boundless hope of a sunlit horizon.
