Beach at Portsmouth

A lavender sky wraps the harbour in calm,
While boats lie moored in evening’s cooling balm.
The path of tide reflects the waning day,
Where sea and stillness hold the world at bay.

This watercolour captures a coastal landscape with a soft atmospheric mood.
The composition is anchored by subtle tonal layering and transparent washes.
Linear elements such as boats, buildings, and dock details are lightly rendered.
Overall, the piece blends realism with impressionistic restraint, evoking calm introspection.
