figure walks along the shoreline, accompanied by a small dog, their presence dwarfed by the vastness of the beach and sky. The wet sand reflects the colours above, creating a mirror-like surface that enhances the sense of space and solitude.

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.
