Café by the Shore

Diverging from the tranquil solitude that characterizes the 'Going Coastal' collection, 'Café by the Shore' infuses the series with the vibrant energy of social interaction. This pastel drawing buzzes with the lively spirit of a seaside café, where locals and travelers alike converge, sharing stories over cups of coffee. The artwork is alive with motion—people gesturing, engaged in conversation, and enjoying the casual ambiance. The composition is vibrant, filled with the contrasting colors of the café's patrons against the dappled light that filters through the umbrellas and framed by the lush greenery of coastal flora, casting a cool shadow against the warmth of the day. Each figure is depicted in mid-gesture, offering a snapshot of life's fleeting, yet meaningful, interactions. This piece captures the essence of coastal living—the blend of relaxation and community—reminding us that the shore is not just a place of escape, but also a space of connection and shared moments.
