Seascapes & Beach Paintings

Richard’s seascapes capture the coast as something alive—light shifting, wind moving, water in constant conversation with shore. Loose, expressive marks describe surf and atmosphere without over-explaining them, so the work breathes on your wall. From glassy shallows to the burst of a breaking wave, the focus is energy: color laid in quickly, shapes simplified, edges vibrating where sea and sky meet.

 

These paintings fit beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, or coastal-inspired offices where natural palettes and texture matter. Look for mid-size and large works that anchor a space without overwhelming it; smaller studies offer intimate views that play well in pairs. Each original oil painting aims not to replicate a location, but to transmit the feeling of being there at that moment—salt in the air, sun on the water, and that lift you get when the ocean draws breath.
