There’s a certain magic in those rare, sun-drenched weekends we get here in the UK. You know the ones I mean—when the sky is clear, the air is warm, and the beach seems to call out to you. For me, those weekends are all about spontaneous road trips to the coast, windows down, the wind in my hair, and a playlist of summer tunes that never gets old.
The Memory That Sparked It All
One particular weekend stands out in my mind. It was one of those rare summer days when the forecast promised uninterrupted sunshine. I packed up the car with my partner, grabbed a few snacks, and hit the road with nothing but the open highway and the thought of the sea on my mind. As he drove, the cities and towns faded into the background, replaced by rolling hills and the distant shimmer of the ocean.
I remember the excitement as the coastline came into view, the way the sun sparkled on the water, and how everything seemed to slow down as I got closer. The beach was a picture-perfect scene, with golden sands stretching out before me and the gentle sound of waves crashing on the shore. It was a day to savor, a brief escape from the usual hustle and bustle.
I spent the day wandering along the shore, collecting shells, and soaking in the warmth of the sun. The light was soft and golden, casting long shadows and highlighting the beauty of the landscape. There was something about that day—its simplicity, its beauty—that stayed with me long after the sun set and I reluctantly headed home.
Capturing the Moment
When I got back to my studio, I couldn’t shake the memory of that perfect Sunday by the beach. I knew I wanted to capture the feeling of that day in a painting—a piece that would bring a bit of that rare coastal tranquility into everyday life. I started sketching, trying to recreate the way the light danced on the water, the endless horizon, and the calm that washed over me as I sat by the shore.
As I worked, I thought about how those rare sunny weekends are something we all cherish. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip to the beach or a lazy day spent lounging in the garden, there’s something special about those moments of pure, unfiltered joy. That’s what I wanted “Sunday by the Beach” to represent—a slice of coastal serenity that you can keep with you, no matter the weather.

“Sunday by the Beach” isn’t just an art print—it’s a reminder of those rare, sun-soaked days we all look forward to. It’s a piece of art that invites you to pause, breathe, and remember the warmth and peace of the coast, even when the skies are grey.
I created this print for anyone who, like me, holds onto those fleeting moments of sunshine and wishes they could last just a little bit longer. Whether it’s hung in your living room, your office, or your bedroom, I hope it brings a touch of that coastal magic into your everyday life.
