Harbour Entrance
Jack Duckworth’s acrylic painting “Harbour Entrance,” measuring 18 by 24 inches, presents a tranquil view of a harbour scene. The composition captures a calm atmosphere, with the sky rendered in soft blues and pale greys, subtly shifting to convey a serene, overcast day. The delicate transitions in colour lend a sense of depth to the expansive sky, allowing the viewer to feel the quiet stillness often found near water.
The painting’s harbour waters are depicted with gentle ripples, using smooth brushstrokes that emphasize the reflective quality of the water’s surface. Duckworth’s technique highlights the subdued movement in the harbour, with lighter shades capturing the play of light on the water, suggesting a day where the weather is calm and the water is undisturbed by strong winds.
In the foreground, Duckworth includes simplified, muted structures along the harbour’s edge, grounding the composition with subtle architectural elements. These darker forms contrast with the lighter tones of the water and sky, anchoring the scene and inviting the viewer to linger on the peaceful setting of the harbour entrance.
