Drifted depicts a piece of driftwood resting on the sunlit shores of a beach on Green Island, Queensland. The weathered wood, smooth and worn from its journey at sea, its twisted and gnarled form telling a story of resilience and time. The natural textures of the driftwood, with its pale, sun-bleached surface and deep grooves, contrast beautifully with the surrounding sand, which is finely detailed with subtle shadows and highlights.
The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the peaceful beauty of nature’s remnants, washed ashore after a long journey. Drifted captures a moment of quiet stillness, celebrating the simplicity and elegance of the driftwood against the backdrop of the pristine Australian coastline.
Looking at the painting, it takes me back to that beach and that feeling of serenity.
Oil painting on stretched canvas. Premium 420 gm cotton duck attached to a quality pine stretcher frame and includes gallery style folded corners. Canvas edges are 3 cm thick and the painting continues around the edges to allow hanging without a frame.
