Summer Holiday
Summer Holiday captures the essence of a coastal retreat with a charming cottage clinging to the cliff path in Pembrokeshire. The painting’s limited palette of blue, green, and cadmium yellow evokes the warmth and tranquillity of a summer day. Using a blend of coloured drawing, watercolour, and pastel, Jill’s mixed media approach brings the scene to life, highlighting the contrasts between the rugged landscape and the inviting cottage, nestled against the cliffs.
The simplicity of the palette enhances the peacefulness of the scene, while the skilful use of watercolour and pastel creates a delicate, almost dreamlike quality. Framed in an antiqued off-white wooden frame, with a 5cm wide exhibition mount, the overall presentation of Summer Holiday allows the artwork’s subtle colours and composition to stand out. At 52cm x 36cm, this piece captures a moment of quiet beauty, perfect for adding a serene touch to any space.
