Description
Salt on the wind, gulls on the breakwater, and the tide turning just after four. Marine set up her easel on the granite rocks of the Breton coast and mixed a dozen shades of blue before she even touched the canvas. The sea refused to sit still for her. Waves broke white against the rocks, retreated, broke again. She painted fast and happily, her hair whipping across her face, and by the time the light faded the canvas held the whole restless afternoon.
This easel captures a seascape in soft blues and whites on its little canvas, and it opens to hold jewellery or small treasures. It is a lovely gift for a painter, a sailor, a family with a beach house, or anyone who feels calmer near the water. Displayed on a bathroom shelf, a bedroom dresser or a studio windowsill, it brings a breath of sea air indoors.
