Coast of Belle-Ile-en-Mer Island (Bretagne) Pictorial art 5 / 22 0

vvswan68 – Coast of Belle-Ile-en-Mer Island (Bretagne)
This painting depicts another coastal seascape of Belle-Île, focusing on the rich blues and greens of the ocean contrasting with the rocky shoreline. The water has a striking gradient, moving from deep blues in the distance to lighter turquoise hues in the foreground where the depth is shallower. The artist uses thick, textured strokes in an impasto style that give depth and movement, especially in the depiction of the water and the rugged rocks. To the right on the shore are large rocks painted in earth tones and accentuated with a mixture of whites, browns and greys to create a sense of rough texture. Smaller rocks are scattered in the water and appear almost submerged in the water. The sky is coloured a gentle blue with faint clouds near the horizon to create a sense of calm and openness. A small structure, perhaps a lighthouse or small building, can be seen in the distance, adding focus and a sense of scale to the landscape. The overall mood of the painting is calm and at the same time bright, conveying the beauty of a clear sunny day by the sea. The painting is one of a series of triptychs showing the beauty of Belle-Île Island. To create an impression of connectedness of the subjects, all three paintings are made in the same colour scheme and style, as well as with the same level of the horizon.
