This week we have selected Donald Ramsay’s ‘Nocturne 1’ from his current exhibition the coast beyond as this beautiful painting continues the artist’s connection to the West Coast of Victoria and his deep love of the ocean and this part of the world.
This work captures that time, just before nightfall, when the colours of the day are fading yet intensified, creating a moody yet quiet time of day. There is an interesting dynamic between the gentleness of the waves with the distant deep water beyond against the movement in the clouds above. All the subtle last remnants of colour from the sunset are here, reflected in the sea and sky, and the smooth texture of the brush strokes in the painting add to the overall feeling of peacefulness.
Donald Ramsay No3 ‘Nocturne 1’ oil on linen, 150 x 150cm $5,500
Donald Ramsay the coast beyond is showing at the gallery until 21st November.
