This painting captures the dramatic silhouette of Black Nab at Saltwick Bay, Whitby, set against a vibrant sunset sky that ripples with rainbow hues. The rocky shoreline draws the eye into the composition, with reflections of the sky’s colours dancing across tidal pools and slick stones.

I was drawn to the interplay between the rugged geology of the bay and the softness of the evening light, with the landmark standing proud and dark against the warmth and movement above. The brushstrokes intentionally echo the shifting nature of sea and sky, blending texture and tone to evoke a sense of fleeting beauty in a familiar northern landscape.
