Light dances across the water in Home Stretch, a wonderfully serene original by Ben Payne. A handful of distant sailing boats punctuate the horizon, drawing the eye across an expansive sea bathed in soft golden light. Ben layers subtle blues, creams and warm sandy tones to create a beautiful sense of depth and movement, while the textured surface of the water catches the light almost as if it were sparkling. Calm and uplifting, this acrylic on board perfectly captures Ben’s love of the coast and his ability to create landscapes that offer a moment of pure escape.
