4k Run Along West Beach Esplanade

“4k Run Along West Beach Esplanade" captures the essence of my daily 4k landmark on the esplanade, a vibrant testament to the rhythm and energy of this coastal path. Painted in oil on linen canvas, I utilised thick, textured oil paint and bold brushstrokes to convey the sensation of running along the footpath on a windy day. The dynamic, sweeping movements of the brushstrokes mimic the gusts of wind that rustle the palm fronds, creating a sense of motion and vitality. This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of the West Beach landscape, reflecting my personal connection to this place and its role in my daily life. The palm trees, standing resilient against the elements, symbolise endurance and the journey's milestones. The tactile quality of the thick oil paint adds depth and dimension, making the scene come alive with movement and energy. I invite viewers to experience the brisk winds, the vibrant colours, and the invigorating spirit of this cherished path.
