Flooded Gum Float Frame

A solitary woman finds her perfect refuge in the shallow ocean bath, leaning back on her hands in complete surrender to the afternoon warmth. Her gaze follows the horizon line where sky meets sea, embodying the profound relaxation that comes with claiming a moment of pure solitude in the bright clarity of mid-afternoon.

Painted from behind the figure, the composition uses the structured elements of the ocean bath—handrails and depth markers—to frame this intimate scene of repose. The palette of sapphire blue and opal creates crystalline brightness, punctuated by turquoise accents that capture the pristine quality of filtered seawater. The overall effect is one of luminous calm, where artificial structure harmonizes perfectly with natural tranquillity.
