Painted in a figurative style with touches of impressionism, the composition is seen from behind, immersing the viewer into her tranquil perspective. The backdrop showcases a vibrant seascape—foamy waves dance against the rocky shoreline while a nearby village begins to glow under the early light. This is a moment frozen in oil, where a new day awakens not just the land, but something within the observer.
The artist, Glodina Gordon van Zyl, brings her unique, multifaceted life into her art. A writer, engineer, musician, and visionary, she channels her introspective strength into the gentle brushstrokes and harmonious hues of this piece. With a calm, dreamy, and slightly nostalgic ambiance, this painting is more than a coastal view—it's an emotional experience.
Executed in oil on stretched canvas and measuring 40 x 50 cm, its rich earth tones interwoven with pinks, greens, and blues offer warmth and serenity. Ideal for a bedroom, hallway, or study room, this artwork invites the viewer into a serene start to the day—again and again.
