Winter Apricity at Wonwell Beach

Framed oil painting of a tranquil, Wonwell beach near Salcombe in Devon’s South Hams. The painting is displayed in a complementary, distressed white wooden frame has an appearance of diftwood.

This subtle oil painting features a muted color palette dominated by soft blues, browns, and whites. The sky, rendered in pale blues and hints of yellow, suggests either early morning or late afternoon light. Wispy clouds are scattered across the upper portion of the painting. Below the sky, a series of horizontal bands represent the horizon line, the sea, and the beach. A dark, headland is in the distance.

The foreground is a sandy beach, with winding channels of water reflecting the sky. Eleanor King has used varying shades of brown and grey to create depth and texture in the sand and water. The painting style appears loose and expressive, capturing the essence of the warming, wintry scene.
