Harry Brioche

stretches across the canvas, its wet sand reflecting the vibrant colours of the sky above. The ocean is calm, with gentle waves rolling in, while small figures near the water’s edge add scale and a sense of solitude.

The sky dominates the composition, filled with large, expressive clouds in soft yellows, pinks, purples and deep blues — a palette that suggests the final light of day. The interplay of warm and cool tones creates a sense of movement and emotional depth, evoking the fleeting beauty of a sunset as it fades into twilight.

As with all Harry Brioche paintings, the landscape is a vessel for mood and atmosphere. Late Evening Sun invites the viewer into a moment of stillness and reflection, where light, colour and space converge. It’s a masterful expression of nature’s quiet grandeur, rendered with sensitivity and painterly control.

Harry Brioche paintings are available from Red Rag Gallery in Stow on the Wold in the Cotswolds and from Red Rag Gallery in Bath, offering collectors direct access to his latest atmospheric coastal works.
