A Coastal Stroll in Soft Hues

This charming piece captures a serene coastal scene. A lone figure walks a path towards the sea, accompanied by a small dog. The path is bordered by a neat white fence, which winds along a gently sloping grassy hill.

Tranquil Seascape

The calm sea stretches to the horizon under a clear sky. A simple lamppost stands sentinel near a signpost, subtly directing the eye. The artist’s palette evokes a sense of peace and tranquility. Additionally, the colour scheme is soft and inviting.

Whimsical Details

The style is delightfully whimsical; the figures are simplified, adding to the artwork’s charming character. The overall impression is one of quiet contemplation and simple pleasures. The painting’s subtle details create a narrative of a peaceful coastal walk.

A Perfect Coastal Addition

This framed print would make a delightful addition to any home. It brings a touch of coastal charm and effortless elegance to any room. Furthermore, its tranquil nature creates a calming atmosphere. The piece’s delicate and detailed artistry shines through.

Born in South East London, Chris Ross Williamson went on to study Illustration at Barnfield College, Luton. After training as a graphic designer and working in several respectable positions within the design and advertising sector, Chris found the calling of fine art too strong and decided to go full time. Chris Ross Williamson now creates his characterful pieces in his quiet studio in Corton, Suffolk with panoramic views of the sea – something that is often alluded to in his work. 

Often described as quirky and whimsical, Chris’ playful work usually involves an atmospheric land or seascape populated with his characters – the gaunt and dry-humoured, ‘Garfield Eldritch’ and his faithful Jack Russell pal, ‘Barton Darcy’. The British east coast landscape and vernacular architecture feature heavily as a backdrop and touches of humour are often evident. Chris says “I like to give people a grin if I can”. 

Chris paints on panel using a large palette of oil colours, sometimes mixing metallic (silver, copper or gold) into the paint to bring out the shimmer of the sea.
