Strategic Tides

In the 'Going Coastal' collection, 'Strategic Tides' captures a moment of quiet competition set against the backdrop of a leisurely beach atmosphere. This pastel drawing portrays two figures deeply engrossed in a game of backgammon, a scene of concentration and friendly rivalry. Their sun-kissed skin and casual beachwear are a nod to the coastal setting, while the intensity of their focus mirrors the often-underestimated strategic depths of the ocean itself. The artwork conveys a sense of relaxation intermingled with mental engagement, reminiscent of the leisurely pace of coastal life where every day is both a game and a holiday. It's a celebration of the simple yet profound pleasures of seaside leisure—sun, strategy, and the company of a good friend.
