A fleeting coastal moment, loosely held in water and colour. 2026
Inspired by a visit to Sumner Beach in Christchurch, this watercolour brings together two recurring subjects in Adrienne Rewi’s work: birds and the coast. Five small silhouettes move through an expansive blue sky, while the land below is suggested through fluid washes, broken lines and earthy colour.
The openness of the sky creates a sense of freedom and distance, balanced by the warmth and texture of the shoreline. Rather than documenting the beach precisely, Adrienne captures the memory of being there—the shifting light, exposed land and brief movement of birds overhead.
Its gentle scale and calm palette would work beautifully in a bedroom, hallway, reading corner, coastal home or grouped with other works on paper.
