Children where the surf meets the sand

Children Playing in Surf brings several small figures into the shallow water, with bright clothing and a bucket close to the reflective shore. Other beach works follow families, pairs of children and groups further along the sand. The figures give the changing edge of the water a human scale.

Boating away from the open beach

Boating in Central Park places a small boat beneath a wooded bank, with quieter reflections around it. The enclosed water offers a different setting from the open sea and broad beach. Other outdoor subjects in the collection introduce coves, docks and people beside the water.

Mountain scenery beyond the coast

Lake Louise opens across still water towards wooded slopes and pale high mountains. The view gives the collection a more expansive landscape subject alongside its familiar figures at leisure. Explore landscape art for further lakes, trees and high country.
