Still Calm is a semi-abstract seascape exploring the moment when the world seems to pause — when the light softens, the air quietens, and the ocean holds its breath. The painting is inspired by the Western Australian coastline, where shifting weather and brilliant light create endless variations of mood and colour.
Using layers of oil paint, blended brushwork and gestural marks, Rebecca Hayes captures both the strength and serenity of the sea. Deep blues merge with soft aqua tones, and the warmth of the rocks anchors the composition against the open sky. The horizon glows faintly, hinting at the light after a passing storm.
This piece balances realism and abstraction — recognisable landscape forms dissolve into atmospheric colour fields, allowing the viewer to feel rather than simply see the place. It invites quiet reflection and calm, bringing the essence of the coast into any interior space.
Ideal for collectors who appreciate expressive Australian landscapes, contemporary seascapes and artworks that hold emotion through simplicity and tone.
