The Seagull Has Landed

$1,500.00

About the painting

The Seagull Has Landed was inspired by my walks on Peka Peka Beach in Kapiti where I see the busy seagulls swooping across the waves, landing on the beach and standing as though they are posing for photographs. In the background is Kapiti Island, which I often see silhouetted against spectacular sunsets. These memories came together in this painting. Here the seagull has landed on a rock, centre stage and bathed in light, as though posing for its moment of stardom.

Living with this painting

  • The soft, layered colour palette brings a calming presence to a space

  • Textural depth adds interest without overwhelming a room

  • The imagery carries emotional meaning without being overt or literal

  • Works beautifully in living areas, bedrooms, or quiet reflective spaces.
