Joan Hay
A solitary gull moves across an open sky, suspended above a softly shifting sea and shoreline. 2026
Joan Hay allows the watercolour to move freely across the paper, building the landscape through translucent washes of blue, grey, sand and warm earth. Areas are allowed to soften and dissolve, giving the work its quiet atmosphere and sense of distance.
The single dark gull becomes the point of focus—small against the openness of the sky, yet carrying a feeling of freedom, solitude and calm. Below, loosely formed rocks and bands of colour suggest a shoreline shaped by water, weather and memory rather than precise detail.
Gentle and spacious, Quiet Flight Over the Sea would bring a calming presence to a bedroom, office, reading space or quiet corner of the home.
Original watercolour on paper 570 mm H × 385 mm W
