Description
Sunset over the Dunes – sea, sand and dune grass in golden light
Sunset over the Dunes is a sea painting: in the foreground a clump of tall dune grass with a small red flower grows on a sandy bank, behind it the waves break into white foam, and above the horizon a low sun spills yellow and orange light between white clouds. The painting is hand-painted on canvas and comes in 14 landscape sizes from 50 x 40 to 240 x 175 cm, in a 4:3 ratio.
What does the painting show?
The scene is the moment just before dusk on a sandy shore: the sun touches the sea, its light draws a golden path across the waves, and the grass on the dune bends in the wind. The colours run from turquoise and cobalt blue in the sea to warm ochre in the sand and yellow in the sky, so the painting brings summer, warmth and calm into a room.
How is the painting made?
The clouds, the foam of the waves and the sand are laid on in thick, raised layers of paint that cast tiny shadows in side light, while the blades of grass are drawn with thin, quick strokes. The first photograph shows the whole painting on unstretched canvas, pinned to a wall, so you see the full motif from the dune to the clouds and that the paint is applied by hand, not printed. The second photograph shows the same painting on an easel, where the depth of the paint in the clouds and waves is easier to see. Each painting is painted to order, so single strokes vary slightly, while the motif, the colours and the raised paint stay the same. Before dispatch you receive a photo of your own painting for approval.
Where does a sunset sea painting fit?
Above a sofa about 200 cm wide choose 130 x 95 or 140 x 105 cm, above a double bed 110 x 80 or 130 x 95 cm, in a dining room or office 90 x 70 or 100 x 75 cm, and in a hallway or bathroom 60 x 45 cm. Blue, gold and sand go with white and light walls, pale wood, linen and rattan, which is why the painting is also a favourite in holiday homes and seaside apartments.

What buyers ask
Which size goes above a sofa?
Above a sofa about 200 cm wide choose 130 x 95 or 140 x 105 cm, so the painting covers roughly two thirds of the sofa’s width.
Will my painting look like the one in the photographs?
The motif, the colours and the raised paint will be the same; single strokes differ a little, because every painting is painted by hand. You get a photo for approval before dispatch.
Is a frame included in the price?
No, the price is for the painting without a frame, with or without a stretcher; a frame can be arranged on request.
Is this a print?
No, the paint is applied by hand in a relief you can feel with your fingers, so the painting is not a print.
