Reef Break

'Reef Break' is a dramatic acrylic seascape that captures the raw energy of waves breaking over a submerged reef. In the foreground, turbulent white foam and spray churn across deep teal-green water, with warm ochre and rust tones hinting at the hidden reef beneath. A dark, brooding horizon stretches across the middle ground, anchored by a narrow strip of distant land on the left, while a muted, overcast sky adds to the painting’s moody, atmospheric intensity. The bold brushwork and limited palette perfectly convey the power and solitude of the open sea.

Includes premium timber frame with acrylic glass window

Keith is an award winning artist who finds endless inspiration in the intricate beauty of nature, captivated by its vivid colors, rich diversity, and delicate fragility.

Growing up in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, he cherished countless days by the beach and harbor, immersing himself in the sensory delights of this wonderful marine environment. Family trips to various coastal retreats introduced him to a slower, gentler rhythm of life, where the hues of the sea, forests, and farmlands etched themselves into his memory.

Days exploring the tranquil lakes, rivers and their environs deepened his appreciation for the Australian landscape including farmland and forest mirrored in the glassy waters of the south coast of NSW. Visits to his uncle’s farm in Tenterfield further shaped his artistic vision, revealing the resilience and vulnerability of rolling green fields, so easily marked by drought or bushfire. Keith is now settled in the coastal haven of Port Stephens.

His works, whether rooted in reality or woven from imagination, spring from a lifetime of experiences, emotions, and the vibrant palette that resides within him.

Through his art, Keith invites others to pause, observe, and discover the same vivid beauty that surrounds them every day.
