Beach combing
Susan Schaefer’s “Beach Combing” is a 36 by 30-inch acrylic painting that offers a close-up view of a rocky shoreline, capturing the intricate textures and earthy hues of a natural beach environment. This intimate perspective focuses on smooth stones and pebbles scattered across the sand, each rendered in shades of grey, beige, and muted blues. The artist’s colour choices evoke the cool, grounded feel of a rocky coast, giving the scene a tactile and natural quality.
Schaefer’s brushwork is detailed, emphasizing each stone's unique shapes and textures. The layered application of paint creates depth and realism, making the stones appear three-dimensional and inviting viewers to appreciate their subtle variations. The careful blending and highlights mimic the effect of sunlight glancing off the rocks, enhancing their smooth surfaces and rounded edges.
The composition’s close-up focus immerses viewers in the coastal environment, as though combing through stones and beach debris firsthand. “Beach Combing” invites appreciation of the small, often overlooked details found on a rocky beach, celebrating the quiet beauty of nature’s raw textures.
