Staring Out to Sea - Kirsten Courtenay

Staring Out To Sea

Sun on your skin. Salt in the air. A moment shared without a word.

Staring Out to Sea captures that beautiful kind of silence that exists between family, comfortable, familiar and completely unhurried. Loose, expressive brushstrokes give the piece a sense of freedom and movement, perfectly suited to the warmth of the moment.

There’s a feeling of summer in this work. You can almost feel the heat, smell the salt in the air and hear the gentle hush of the ocean. Look a little longer and new details begin to reveal themselves in the reflections, making the scene feel slightly different each time.

Painted with obvious joy, Staring Out to Sea is a warm, uplifting piece that brings a little of that seaside feeling indoors.

For Small Wonders, artist, Kristen Courtenay, captures the beauty of an ordinary moment shared with the people we love, the kind that seems simple at the time, but stays with us.
