A Serene Coastal Haven

This captivating piece showcases a tranquil cove nestled between dramatic cliffs. Quaint houses cling to the cliff edges. A small fishing boat rests gently in the calm waters. Furthermore, a hot air balloon drifts serenely in the sky.

Dreams of the Sea

The colour palette is soft and evocative. Pastel hues of pink and blue paint a dreamy sky. This is beautifully contrasted with the earthy tones of the cliffs. Meanwhile, the overall mood is one of peaceful contemplation. The scene invites viewers to lose themselves in its gentle beauty.

A Lighthouse’s Gentle Watch

A solitary lighthouse stands proudly on a nearby rock. It acts as a silent guardian over the tranquil cove. In addition, the artist’s unique style infuses the scene with a touch of whimsy. Consequently, this makes the artwork highly desirable. The framed piece is ready to hang and will become an artistic focal point.

Whimsical Coastal Charm

The artwork’s detail is remarkable. Each house and boat is meticulously rendered. This level of detail adds to the artwork’s overall charm. Moreover, the composition perfectly balances realism with a hint of fantasy.

Artist Biography

Gary Walton discovered a natural gift for painting at an early age, excelling at all things creative throughout his school years. His remarkable technical ability lead to a successful career in graphic design, where he continued to hone his draughtsmanship. At first painting only in his spare time, Waltons unique style gradually developed into the instantly recognizable works of today.

Influenced by the surrealist paintings of Salvador Dali, Waltons paintings depict ethereal scenes, blurring the line between dream and reality. Many of his works, in fact, start life as dreams; images seen in his sleep are translated onto canvas with astonishing clarity. Of his inspirations, Walton states I looked deep inside myself to create my individual style of art It took time to adapt my passion for surrealism to bring my work to life until my creation was born.

Despite having resided inland over recent years, Waltons affection for the coast is evident in many of his works, with boats, beach huts and lighthouses a recurring motif. Whimsical buildings inhabit the rolling hills of his landscapes, providing both the audience and artist with a means to escape to his fantastical locations.

Since becoming a full- time artist Waltons style has continued to develop, with an ever-growing army of collectors relishing each new collection.
