Sky, Beach & Sea is a 36" x 48" oil painting by Patricia Johnston. Her artwork has a unique and magical quality achieved through her precise layering and glazing techniques. This particular piece is characterized by its soft and gradual transitions of colour and light, effectively conveying a coastal scene's atmospheric mood. The sky is painted in soft blues, grays, and subtle purples that express the tranquility of early dawn or the gentle approach of dusk. Below, the sea is depicted with gentle gradations of greens and blues, capturing the reflective nature of the water. The beach is only suggested rather than explicitly detailed, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay between sky and sea. Johnston's painting technique involves layering fine, transparent oil paints, creating depth that is both visual and emotional. She uses a glaze to achieve the luminous quality of her seascapes, enhancing the light within her work. Each layer adds to the painting's overall glow, creating a light source illusion. Her brushwork is soft and subtle, blending sky, water, and land seamlessly into a dreamlike scene that borders on abstraction while rooted in natural beauty. Patricia Johnston's mastery lies in her ability to convey the visual spectacle of the landscape and its emotional resonance. This contemplative piece invites you into a moment of introspection. It is a testament to Patricia's ability to capture the unseen behind the seen — our world's fleeting, transcendent moments.
