The afternoon sun glows warmly over the beach as the water splashes against the shore, full of life and movement. I painted the scattered stones, distant palm trees, and the mostly clear sky to capture that perfect balance between energy and calm. A girl wanders freely along the beach, unburdened and unafraid, and in that moment she feels like me. This painting holds my longing for freedom—the kind you feel when the ocean reminds you to let go and simply be.
