Freshwater Swells

Rachel Rae, Freshwater Swells, acrylic on canvas

This aerial view on Freshwater beach is a beautiful depiction of the feeling of summer, one that radiates through the light speckled waves, lush greenery, a calm clear sky and the surfers dotted along the canvas. As a whole, Rae depicts the scene as a sunny oasis, the swells in the water disrupting its own calmness. The abstract ripples, spots and lines which glisten over the water, shifting into various shades of blue and green.
