Still before the storm

A solitary silver gull stands motionless on the wet sands, its delicate reflection cast in a fleeting patch of violet light. Above, the indigo sky thickens with the promise of an encroaching storm, while the sea churns in tones of deep green and blue, waves curling with quiet urgency. Scattered rocks, glistening under a soft haze, echo the calm before nature’s turn. This oil painting captures that liminal space between day and night, peace and chaos—where stillness reigns just before the sky breaks open.
